Who really cares what this demented pedophile has to say. Putin decides what the reality on the ground will be. And everyone, enemies and allies alike understand this to some degree.
All eyes are on Putin.
While we read and write, Russia mobilizes some of their people, and those closer to the conflict may have special hardships. For them, talks of winning and loosing, this policy or that policy may be of less concern. Imagine being in a place where one hears the whistling of incoming grenades and missiles, followed by explosions and powerful pressure waves that can break windows or make walls crumble. It is terrible!
Perhaps "All eyes are on Putin", but what Western leaders say, even if they lie, can still indicate how the elite in their customary underhanded way will try to benefit from this new situation, apart from the predictable effect of more chaos.
So far, the western leaders have used the Russian special military operation:
to fight Russia in a proxy war
to drain Ukraine of millions of people and make lives miserable for many of those who stayed
to send weapons to Ukraine,
to justify to the common people, massive financial aid
to deplete old NATO stock to make profit for the MIC from new purchases
to blame Russia for actions they did not do
to increase their power and earn money
to expand NATO to include Sweden and Finland
but also to double down on various sanctions policies which have led to:
inflation and higher energy prices in Europe
reduced industrial production in the EU
pressure on their poor and middle classes
making life much more difficult for many people in developing countries who can't buy fertilizer or goods from Russia because banks are not allowed to transfer and the US and vassals do not like it.
It turns out, as the example of Germany has shown, that some of the sanctions policies were pushed by those who work to implement Green New Deals, as no fossil fuel etc is what they want anyway, so they can save the planet and fight a war in one breath.
If we look back, the countries in the EU and Western Europe acted by and large in a very similar fashion during Covid. In the early stages during March 2020, they were as if inspired by the Chinese lockdown, but while the Chinese probably were scared of a bioweapon, to the EU and other Western countries it was an opportunity to increase control and move their NWO concept.
In addition, the US does not mind wrecking the German economy and by extension the EU in the current situation. While the EU was helped along by the CIA, as discussed in these articles:

A: US wishes to destabilize EU similar to Syria so that they can come in and "fix" things. i.e. rule and control resources and trade the "American way". Everyone will speak English!
That "Everyone will speak English" is not an absolute given, but it is a possibility. With Russia doing a bit more in Ukraine and in Russia, how will the US/UK/NATO/EU etc act now? Will European countries out of fear give over more power to NATO/US/EU or the European Central Bank, just as people overnight were convinced they should give up a number of the freedoms, keep two-meter distance to others, self-isolate, close down their business if "not essential", and work from home if possible, wear masks, shop without family, and get as many jabs as required to protect the health passport from becoming invalid. In fact, while all this Ukraine business is going on, ministers and experts in some countries were meeting about how to do even more next time.
So, I did read the talk Putin gave, and then checked the local news. Sure the Minister of Defence (Small EU-NATO country) is criticizing Russia, "completely unacceptable", but the main focus is, surprise, surprise, actually on the economy. The Government has a crisis meeting on live TV about the high inflation rate, and the national bank insists they have to make serious cuts, or there is a risk of a very harmful spiral. (That must be the kind one does not easily get out of). Not only that, a very large food producer has raised prices, but the company complains it is still loosing money. The impression is neither private nor public administrators have experience operating in a high inflation economy. Apart from the local MoD and the MSM experts who are paid to give their opinions on the conflict, more and more have less and less time to worry about Ukraine. They have their own problems - as predicted already in February they would get. Now, let's see what extraordinary measures the US/UA supporting governments in the EU will come up with.
