„A făcut o greșeală din care nu știe cum să mai iasă”. Primul premier al lui Putin spune că acesta nu e „pregătit” să oprească războiul

Mikhail Kasyanov, former Russian Prime Minister, claims Putin is unwilling to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war despite increasing economic pressures. He believes Putin recognizes the mistake of attacking Ukraine but refuses to admit it. Kasyanov warns that the upcoming winter may be particularly challenging for Ukraine and urges Western nations to maintain pressure on the Kremlin. He notes that while the Russian elite desires an end to the conflict, opinions differ on how it should conclude. Kasyanov describes Russia as nearly totalitarian and emphasizes that Putin's threats should not intimidate the West, asserting that Putin seeks respect from Europe rather than open conflict.
