Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to double down on the war in Ukraine, refusing to compromise or engage in genuine peace negotiations.
Analysts warn that this stubborn approach is a strategic blunder, costing Russia its regional influence, lucrative energy markets, and international credibility. Despite mounting economic and political pressures, the Kremlin insists on maximalist demands, such as Ukraine's disarmament and leadership change, before considering peace. Meanwhile, Western nations, including the US under shifting leadership, are increasing military support for Ukraine.
Experts suggest that Putin's authoritarian decision-making is leading Russia toward isolation and potential internal collapse.
