I've thought about this previously and how poetic it would be, but Putin would never announce such a thing. He never shows his hand. Like Trump always said, why would you tell someone what you're going to do before you do it?
In this case, if Putin really said it, it would be particularly smart of him to do so. It would really kneecap the 'calls for action' and attempts to drum up escalation. They couldn't go on about his ceaseless destruction anymore; business will be handled soon and then it'll be over. Genius if true.
