Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to reject peace negotiations and double down on the war in Ukraine, despite mounting costs to Russia's economy and international influence.
Analysts warn that Putin's refusal to compromise is a strategic blunder, eroding Russia's regional power and access to lucrative energy markets. The Kremlin's demands for Ukraine's surrender and removal of President Zelenskyy show no genuine interest in ending the conflict. Meanwhile, Western nations, including the US, are increasing military support for Ukraine, further isolating Russia.
Experts suggest that Putin's intransigence could accelerate Russia's political and economic decline.
