That may be, but Putin doesn’t see Ukraine as a client state. For something to be a client state, it would have to technically be a separate state. Putin, unfortunately, rejects the whole “Ukraine being it’s own separate state” thing. If the recent war didn’t clue you in, he wrote an entire fucking essay explaining that he not only doesn’t see the Ukrainian state as legitimate, he sees its mere existence as comparable to a WMD attack against them. And this essay is apparently required reading in the Russian military. Also, If I’m reading this accurately, I suspect that if Ukraine falls, Putin’s next target is probably going to be Belarus.
