Putin will not stop in Ukraine: why the Kremlin is counting on victory.

Historical mission of Putin

According to inkorr.com: Vladimir Putin views the war against Ukraine as part of his 'historical mission'. He strives for victory despite existing economic difficulties, focusing on strategic advantage. The leader of Russia believes that it is more important to leave a mark in history as a great ruler than just to resolve the conflict.

'For him, this is all an ideological issue. He still believes he can win,' a senior western intelligence officer is quoted as saying.

Support from the military and intelligence services

According to information from The Financial Times, Putin receives support from the military and intelligence services. They emphasize Russia's successes and the losses of the Ukrainian side, which convinces him of an existing resource advantage.

Geopolitics and personal image

For Putin, the conflict in Ukraine is not only a matter of geopolitics but also an opportunity to demonstrate his strength and dominance over a neighbor. It strengthens his image in history.

Thus, Putin's position on the war with Ukraine remains unchanged, and he continues to view it as a key stage in his political career. The support from the military and intelligence services gives him confidence in his actions. This, in turn, creates additional challenges for the international community, which continues to monitor the development of events.
