The more we are into this, the more I think either Putin is crazy or missinformed, living in an artificial information bubble. Today there was a call with Macron and Putin stated that there was zero assult on civil buildings in Ukrainian cities... he didn't attempt to justify those as accidental, minor or whatever, it seems he trully believes there are none. He justifies the photos from those as creations of Western intelligences. This guy has no idea what "subscribe" on YouTube means (there was a funny school visit where a boy asked him to subscribe and Putin asked to sign what? In russian subscribe and sign have the same base). He has no idea about real world, I would not be surprised if in his mind he is winning.
