ISW revealed what will make Putin change his perception of the war and sit down at the negotiating table.

Russian President Putin may force himself to sit at the negotiating table due to losses on the front, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War believe. Support for Ukraine and the increasing losses for Russia may create a need for changes in the Kremlin's strategy.

Support for Ukrainian forces through weapon systems from the US will allow them to defend more effectively and inflict serious losses on Russian troops.

According to experts, the increasing losses for Russia could threaten the balance between the costs of war and the socio-economic development of the country. Thus, continued support for Ukraine may prove crucial for resolving the conflict in the east of the country.
