We really do. I think there is no doubt that he is going for restoration, as much as he could achieve.
As I already mentioned, Ukraine is under attack, but Belarus is de facto now controlled by Russia. What we saw in January was Russian troops going to Kazakhstan to support the President of Kazakhstan to suppress popular demonstrations. Putin and Russia are becoming more and more interventionist in the area that used to be the Soviet Union.
If this brazen invasion of Ukraine succeeds and the west lets Putin take Ukraine, we can expect the non-NATO members that are former Soviet countries to be next in an assault. I mean Georgia and Moldova, probably. We should expect that this restoration.... What Putin has demonstrated with this invasion is that he is done with pretending to co-operate in any way with the west. He is now on an expansionist mission. He will try to get as much territory as he can, and he is prepared for another confrontation with the west. If it goes back to another cold war, so be it. I think he is already in that state of mind.
