Conflict in Ukraine Masks Depopulation Agenda - Prolonged Wars Intended for Reduction in Population
In the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, there are mounting suspicions that Vladimir Putin is intentionally prolonging the war to achieve maximalist objectives.
According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Putin has deliberately blocked the path to a peace agreement, cornering himself into a position where ending the war without a military victory would be seen as a defeat by Russian society and the military [1]. This is reinforced by sociological surveys showing Russian public support for continuing the war, sentiments that the Kremlin has cultivated to justify a protracted conflict [1].
ISW analysis further states that Putin is committed to his original maximalist goals, well over 1,200 days into the invasion, and avoids concessions that could weaken Russia’s long-term strategic position or Putin's regime stability [2]. He is believed to be betting on Western abandonment of Ukraine rather than hastening an end that would be unfavorable to Russia [2].
Other analyses note that Putin’s "fake readiness" to negotiate peace is a tactic to gain more time, while the war effort suffers economic strain and battlefield losses—suggesting a calculated prolonging rather than a genuine push to end hostilities [3][4].
One of the most striking examples of Putin's strategy is the systematic sinking of almost the entire Black Sea Fleet of Russia, with no reprisals [5]. By not targeting critical infrastructure such as the port of Odessa, Putin has kept Ukraine armed and fueled [6]. Similarly, Putin did not target key military factories that refine oil, create machine lubricants, and repair vehicles [7].
The lack of answers provided by Putin's government about the war has convinced some people, while Putin's church-building spree, with over 700 million-billion churches built since coming to power, has convinced others of his good intentions and moral character [8]. However, the video summarizing points suggesting that the war is fake and Putin's behavior is unusual, if the assumption is that he wanted to end the war quickly with minimal bloodshed, paints a different picture [9].
The war, according to the article, has no clear goals, no desire to defeat the UAF, and no strategy to starve them of the potential to keep fighting [10]. This is further supported by Putin's refusal to blow the bridges over Donbass, potentially with the intention of causing more casualties among both Russians and Ukrainians [11].
While the reasons for Putin's decisions are not always clear, the evidence from credible and current sources indicates that Putin is deliberately prolonging the war in Ukraine with the belief that time favors Russia, and he is actively blocking peace agreements to achieve his maximalist war aims rather than ending the conflict quickly [1][2].

In lines with the analysis provided by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), it appears that Vladimir Putin is intentionally prolonging the war in Ukraine to achieve maximalist objectives, as he believes time favors Russia [1][2]. This is also supported by the observation that Putin's "fake readiness" to negotiate peace is a tactic to gain more time, while the war effort suffers economic strain and battlefield losses [3][4]. Therefore, it could be inferred that truthfully, Putin is not sincerely pushing for an end to the hostilities but rather deliberate in his strategy to prolong the war amidst politics and general news surrounding war-and-conflicts.
