Details
Analysts point to a recent interview with 11 Russian soldiers who are currently fighting or have fought in Ukraine. In them, they oppose an unconditional ceasefire and believe that Russia should continue fighting until Russian troops seize the entire Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine.
Russian soldiers called for ... not to offer any concessions to Ukraine or the West, so that Russia does not have to fight Ukraine again in five to ten years and that the losses of Russians in the war are not in vain
The authors also refer to the results of a survey by the independent Russian opposition sociological organization Chronicles, according to which about half of Russian citizens would not support a peace agreement that does not meet the initial military goals of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin regarding the "denazification", demilitarization and neutrality of Ukraine.
"Kremlin officials are increasingly publicly stating that Russia is ready to continue fighting until Ukraine accepts Russia's demands, probably because the Kremlin believes it has properly prepared Russian society and the Russian army for such a scenario," the analysts summarize.
Recall
According to ISW experts, the Kremlin continues to try to exaggerate its own military power on the eve of a telephone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. At the same time, according to analysts, Putin is trying to divert attention from the military and economic challenges of Russia.
