@MarkNOTW Dailymail Nov. 2022: Russia has said it no longer wants to change the government in Ukraine, despite regime change being a key early objective of Vladimir Putin's invasion.
At the beginning of the war, Putin sent troops into Ukraine with the objective of overthrowing the Ukrainian government and installing a Russia-friendly regime.
But now, nine months into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia 'does not intend the "special operation" to change the government in Ukraine', Sky News reports.
Moscow had aimed to overthrow the Ukrainian government, but Russia's setbacks on the battlefield and stretched resources in Ukraine means that Putin has had to peddle back on his initial objectives.
Lavrov: "We will certainly help the Ukrainian people to get rid of the regime, which is absolutely anti-people and anti-historical.' "
- Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking “regime change” and will likely go all the way and invade the rest of Ukraine, according to a former director for Russia at the National Security Council.
″I think given the size of the force, the rhetoric we’ve heard about Ukraine overall and its statehood, I think you’re going to see him [Putin] go all the way,” Jeffrey Edmonds told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Wednesday.

@user1qaz2wsx3edc Kleptocracy is the correct name for Russia's system of government.
Putin has ruled Russia like a mafia boss and robbed his country (along with a few regime loyal oligarchs) for over 20 years now.
In 2017, financier Bill Browder claimed Vladimir Putin is worth $200 billion (200.000.000.000.) and USD 2 Billion+ annual income. He testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and said Putin was the “richest man in the world” as a result of “terrible crimes” his government committed.
Putin own a 190,000 square-foot, $1.4 billion worth mansion atop a cliff overlooking the Black Sea, 19 houses, 700 cars, 58 aircraft and helicopters including a $716 million plane called “The Flying Kremlin” that has a toilet made of gold, $100 million mega yacht designed by a nuclear submarine maker from the Russian navy, according to several reports.
He has a "Western billionaire lifestyle", but officially hates all western. He and his relatives own big houses in UK, France etc. Wears western fashion and buy western arts, as well as other fancy designs. The video of the Black Sea mansion called “Putin’s Palace” had gone viral in January 2021.
