I am not saying he is ending it. I say he will try to prepare to end it without getting removed from power, to get away with a blue eye. He might offer some sort of a deal which Ukraine rightfully will reject. And finally he will move out, not getting most of his demands. But as he had all his hardliners removed he can still claim whatever he wants. Because not the winner but the person in charge decides what the truth is.
Why would he end the operation?
