Putin Believes in Victory: How the Kremlin Prepares for a New Offensive on the Front.
The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin continues to believe in victory, having an advantage in people and technology. This is reported by columnist Mark Urban in his article for The Times.
Not Ready for Peace
According to inkorr.com: According to Urban, both sides of the conflict are not striving to achieve peace agreements, as they believe that the fight should continue. For Ukraine, this is a battle for national survival and the political existence of President Zelensky. At the same time, Putin is trying to succeed at any cost, starting the conflict in the context of his elections.
Great Efforts by the Kremlin
This summer, the Kremlin has made great efforts to break through Ukrainian defenses, which has led to significant losses for Russian troops. The Ukrainian side, while suffering fewer losses, also faces problems such as desertion and mobilization.
Mobilization Challenges
Russia plans to enlist a large number of volunteers, while Ukraine is strengthening its mobilization but has difficulties in recruiting the necessary number of fighters. Additionally, the long-range strike campaign continues on both sides, accompanied by advancements in Ukrainian technology and the use of drones by Russia.
Pressure from the USA
The USA and other countries continue to exert pressure on the economic front, imposing sanctions on Russia, which complicates the situation for Putin. However, the Russian leader remains confident in his victory and continues to conduct the campaign.
Urban emphasizes that despite some successes of Ukraine and difficulties for Russia, Putin believes he has a strategic advantage and seeks to achieve his goals without any restrictions.
Mark Urban's analysis demonstrates the complex situation on the front between Ukraine and Russia, where both sides continue to fight. Russia plans to enlist additional volunteers, Ukraine is bolstering its mobilization, and the international community, particularly the USA, continues to pressure the Kremlin. Despite all these challenges, Putin remains confident in his strategic advantage and strives to achieve victory.
