Putin Just Realized 'One Thing' and Completely Changed His Main Goal of Invasion - The Russian Dude
Ever since war started, Putin has been changing his main goal all the time. It was about NATO expansion at first, protecting Russians in Ukraine, fighting bad people in the Ukrainian government and much more. Until later he realized that the war is actually good for him. And there is another potential reason to keep fighting it. War provides stability for his regime, which apparently right now is the main reason. And as soon as Putin realized this 'one thing', he completely changed his main goal of the invasion.
