Putin Just Revealed His Greatest Delusion. - The Russian Dude

This video breaks down one of the most dangerous illusions surrounding the war in Ukraine: the belief that Vladimir Putin secretly wants peace. While millions search for a “different” Putin — a misunderstood leader blocked by the West, Ukraine, or bad timing — the reality is far simpler and far darker. For years, Putin has openly and consistently stated his goals for Ukraine: total submission, regime change in Kyiv, and territorial expansion. He has never promised compromise, never hinted at genuine negotiations, and never deviated from this vision. Yet Russian propaganda, online commentators, and even some anti-war voices continue to push the myth of failed peace talks, stolen opportunities, and a Kremlin leader desperate for an exit.

This analysis dismantles the Istanbul talks narrative, explains why Russia never intended real negotiations in 2022, and shows how Putin personally shut the door on diplomacy by annexing territories he did not even control. It also explores the psychological reasons why so many Russians cling to the fantasy of Putin the peacemaker — not because it’s true, but because accepting the truth feels unbearable. Most importantly, the video exposes who Putin really is: a leader who thrives in war, benefits from chaos, avoids accountability through permanent conflict, and sees no reason to stop as long as power remains unchecked.

This is a reality check on Putin’s true intentions for Ukraine, Russian war propaganda, fake peace narratives, Western misconceptions, and the uncomfortable truth that the war continues not by accident, but by design.
