ISW: Putin i-a prezentat lui Trump o imagine distorsionată a războiului

The Institute for the Study of War claims that Vladimir Putin distorted the reality of the Ukraine conflict during a phone call with Donald Trump. Analysts suggest that Putin aims to exaggerate Russia's military successes. The Kremlin described the conversation as sincere, with Putin providing Trump an 'objective' view of the situation. However, ISW argues that Putin's understanding is skewed by systematic lies from the Russian military. This distortion may lead Putin to pursue maximalist goals in negotiations. The assessment contradicts Kremlin narratives of a decisive Russian military position, as the U.S. and Russia remain at odds over peace terms.
