I listened carefully to the news-analysts summaries of the Putin-Biden talk today.
I came away with a sort-of-confirmation of my opinion: Putin wants control of that pipeline running through Ukraine. He could have raised vociferously before the point he now makes that Ukraine is within the Russian sphere of influence. Why raise the obvious now? Because he's hiding, in my opinion, his feeling of desparation: he wants control of that pipeline.
Maybe, he is also distrustful, now that Merkel's stepped down, that he has little control of the oil he destines for Germany!
