Russian dictator Putin is not ready to compromise on Ukraine and intends to continue the war until he achieves his goals on the battlefield. This is reported in open sources.
According to US intelligence, Russian dictator Putin is not willing to compromise on Ukraine and intends to continue the war until he achieves his goals on the battlefield. Intelligence believes that Putin has taken a more aggressive stance than ever since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This has been influenced by heavy losses suffered by the Russian army and problems in the economy. He now seeks to justify the losses and capture more Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine, in turn, continues to call on Washington and its European allies to provide it with more weapons and to pressure Moscow with sanctions to force it to agree to a ceasefire. According to experts, new sanctions, increased activity by Ukrainian drones against Russian energy facilities, and support from the West could gradually change the Kremlin’s calculations.
US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said that the US plans to continue putting pressure on Russia to end the war. According to him, sanctions are just one of the cards that US President Donald Trump is playing. Whitaker assured that the US wants to ensure compliance with the sanctions imposed on October 22 and may also tighten oil restrictions in hopes of influencing Putin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in turn, announced that advisors from Ukraine and the EU would soon meet to discuss the points of the plan to end the war. According to him, a ceasefire is needed first, and the plan will form the basis for further diplomatic steps.
“After the ceasefire and with an understanding of security guarantees, it will be very difficult for Russia to resume its aggression. That is why this plan is focused on this,” the president noted.
Meanwhile, Russian Special Representative Kirill Dmitriev stated at an investment conference in Saudi Arabia that the war in Ukraine would end within a year.
