Moscow Times: Putin Promised Xi That Russia Will Fight ‘5-Year War’ in Ukraine – Nikkei 

President Vladimir Putin promised Chinese leader Xi Jinping that his invasion of Ukraine would last five years, the Japanese newspaper Nikkei reported Thursday, citing multiple anonymous sources familiar with Russian-Chinese diplomatic maneuvering. 

Putin’s remark apparently came during Xi’s visit to Moscow in March 2023, when Russia was already one year and one month into the war and had suffered a series of embarrassing setbacks. 

Nikkei interpreted Putin’s words that Russia “will fight for [at least] five years” as an assurance that Moscow would emerge victorious in the end and a possible warning for Xi not to reverse China’s pro-Russia policy.

Update #1: Media: Putin told China's Xi Russia will fight for 'at least 5 years' in Ukraine -- The Kyiv Independent  

Update #2: Putin's 5-year war plan with Ukraine revealed in conversation with Xi Jinping, Nikkei reports -- RBC Ukraine  

WNU Editor: Putin committed Russia to waging a ten year war against Chechnya. Russian soldiers are stilled based in Syria after being deployed into the country during the height of its civil war. Bottom line. Putin is no stranger to long wars.

Translation:If you want to invade Taiwan do it before 2028 while the US is still busy supplying the ukrainians.

That's nice of Uncle Puti , seeing how he told everyone else it would be 3 days

The famous 3 day prediction! Famously voiced first by US General Mark Milley. If you can provide a quote of Putin (or any other Russian official) saying it you could really make me look like a fool. Al you would have to do is post a simple link. Let's see if that happens!

It was actually on plans retrieved from the routed paratroopers on day 1 , seize the airport , assassinate Mr Z , Kiev will capitulate . The Belaraus puppet also echoed the sentiment prior to hostilities after his BBQ with Puti

Oh what a surprise, Russia never wanted peace?

The amusing part of this is the WNU editor comment; glossing over the meaning of this and shoring up Putin as a strongman who commits to his wars of aggression in some kind of veil positive light.

What a shill.

That three day invasion story.....

No individual paratrooper or even a battalion, brigade or division staff officer is going to have plans to assassinate the president or how long the mission will last.. To capture the airport, yes, as that would be part of their mission set.

So that story is bullshit, and yes, ....unless.... you can a send a link with a Russian source saying the invasion would only last 3 days,

it would be the US propaganda machine that put that out and repeated it ad nauseam with the rider of ...."see.... the Russians are incompetent". Ukriane will win!

This is how propaganda works. You mix the truth with lies so to further the narrative.
