Ein großer Teil der Bevölkerung in Deutschland kann oder will sich kein Szenario vorstellen in welchem Russland Europa angreift nachdem es die Ukraine unter Kontrolle gebracht hat. Das Denken bei vielen ist, gebt Russland was es will, dann lässt es uns in Ruhe

The use of the Oreshnik was a predictably weak Russian gambit and it is easily explained. Russians are absolutely desperate. The situation for them is getting out of control, across the globe. Their allies and their power are disappearing on a huge scale.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’ Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’ Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

Like if Ukraine push Russia back across the border Putin would say "Okay, it's enough. I will admit defeat and sign a peace treaty. Then I will stand in front of my people like the biggest loser since Tsar Nikolai II. That will be my legacy. No problem".
