Putin confident in victory, project Ukraine failed and Europe failed
The Duran: Episode 2517Putin has made it official: Europe is Russia's true enemy, not America. In this latest breakdown from The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris unpack the seismic fallout from Putin's Victory Day press conference where the Russian president delivered his most scathing attack on European leadership ever recorded, revealing how he believes Macron and Boris Johnson conspired to sabotage the Istanbul peace deal. The pair also reveal how a direct Trump-Putin phone call forced Zelensky to stand down from a planned May 9th strike on Moscow, marking the first time Washington has actively restrained Ukraine since the conflict began. With Russia now pivoting its energy future entirely toward China and the Power Siberia pipeline expansion, the economic divorce from Europe looks permanent. Is "Project Ukraine" the Western plan to break up Russia — truly finished, and what does Putin's new assertiveness mean for the next phase of this conflict?
