Putin sees the war as a historical project and is not ready to compromise<\/h2>\n

For the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin<\/strong> the war against Ukraine has become a historic project, and he is not ready to accept an outcome that does not look like a complete victory. This was reported by The Independent<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin's maximalist goals<\/h3>\n

According to the newspaper, Putin cannot accept anything less than the complete seizure of Donetsk region and the overthrow of the Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Any other outcome that does not look like a complete victory could be seen in the Kremlin as a collapse of its historical legacy.<\/p>\n

Losses and political logic<\/h3>\n

The article notes that Russia's total losses in the war have already exceeded 1.3 million people killed and wounded, which further raises the stakes for the Russian leadership.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, the Kremlin is trying to use diplomatic and economic instruments in parallel with military pressure.<\/p>\n

Betting on the negotiation track<\/h3>\n

According to The Independent, Moscow is seeking to use the approach of the US President's team Donald Trump<\/strong>, by offering economic projects.<\/p>\n

In particular, the Kremlin is counting on American envoys such as Steve Witkoff<\/strong> and Jared Kushner<\/strong> - to achieve what the military failed to do, namely the actual surrender of Kyiv.<\/p>\n

Financing the war<\/h3>\n

According to the newspaper, the Russian authorities are taking unpopular steps to support military spending:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    tax increases;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Reducing social spending.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    At the same time, as noted, Putin is not yet experiencing significant internal pressure from Russian society, which allows him to continue the war.<\/p>\n

    Context.<\/h3>\n

    Western analysts have repeatedly warned that the Kremlin's strategic goals in the war against Ukraine remain maximalist.<\/p>\n

    This complicates the prospects for a quick peaceful settlement and increases the importance of long-term support for Ukraine from its allies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
