Putin is stuck in the war – and apparently relies on escalation. Western intelligence services are alarmed. Is a new dangerous phase of the Ukraine war threatening?
It is not really a question of whether Vladimir Putin intends to escalate the war in Ukraine. That escalation is already in full swing. The question now is where he draws the line beyond Ukraine.
The West is increasingly concerned that Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an attempt to break the impasse in his war against Ukraine, may also take action against the NATO countries, but according to the British edition The Economist, citing sources, Putin seems to have decided, first and foremost, to intensify the war against Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to have decided to escalate the war in Ukraine because continuing the war in its current form is draining Russia's resources and its domestic political position is beginning to weaken, The Economist writes.
Vladimir Putin is not giving signals that he is considering ending the war against Ukraine, writes “The Economist”. On the contrary, the British weekly assesses that in the face of problems at the front, the mounting costs of the war and the weakening of social support, the Russian leader may see escalation as a way to avoid political weakness.
