All of Russia's #MadVlad lies are finally catching up with him and history will wind up not judging him or his followers favorably.
Putin's invasion of Ukraine is not going well and apparently, his war plan does not have enough fans. In Kharkiv, the country’s second city, Ukrainian defenses appear to have repulsed a major assault.

In the capital itself, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, has cut a defiant figure. In contrast to the drug-addicted Nazi the Communist dictator described in his hate-filled speeches, president Zelensky has taken his place at the head of a nation buoyed by courage and patriotism.

Every drop of it will be splattered on Mr. Putin’s hands.
For months, while Mr. Putin had remained in seclusion, amassing roughly 190,000 Russian troops on the borders with Ukraine, the question had been: what does this man want? Now that it is clear he craves war, the question is: where will he stop? https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/02/26/history-will-judge-vladimi…
