Details: Experts remind Bloomberg on September 20 that sources close to the Kremlin have stated that Putin concluded that military escalation is the best way for Russia to force Ukraine into peace talks under Putin.
Sources have stated that Putin estimates that US President Donald Trump is unlikely to “do a lot” to strengthen Ukraine’s defense, and that US-Russian talks on Alaska on August 15, 2025 convinced Putin that Trump was not interested in interfering with war in Ukraine.
The Kremlin also said that Putin intends to continue to participate in any bilateral dialogue with the United States, but will continue to do so, motivating, as he believes, the interests of Russia. Sources have stated that Putin intends to continue to attack Ukraine’s energy system and other critical infrastructure.
Literally From the report: “Putin may have allowed these Kremlin sources to share his logic with Bloomberg and probably seek to use an article to use friction between European and American officials, to support the wider Russian narrative about the inevitability of Russia’s victory in Ukraine and to sow fear in Ukrainian society.
Details: Analysts emphasize that the Kremlin firmly controls the Russian information space and has a significant impact on most Russian officials and insiders, which indicates that Putin may have organized or at least approved the leakage of information from the Kremlin sources of Western edition.
The report adds that “the Kremlin has long been seeking to share Ukrainian and European supporters of Ukraine to weaken Ukraine’s cohesive support by the West, and has intensified this campaign since Trump’s inauguration in January 2025.”
Also, experts suggest that Putin intends that this article supports the Kremlin’s ancient position that the Russian leader can allegedly ensure the victory of the Russian Federation “only at will”.
ISW emphasizes that the accent of Kremlin sources “on Putin’s dedication to military victory in Ukraine” ignores systemic shortcomings and restrictions on the Russian army, which still denied Putin’s ability to achieve Russia’s strategic goals for political control over all Ukraine or decisive victory on the battlefield.
ISW has repeatedly observed cases where Putin sets the goals that far exceed her capabilities, and it is unclear whether Putin receives inaccurate information about Russian military capabilities, whether he decides to ignore Russia’s restrictions and continue his rigid offensive actions to strengthen Russian narratives about the ability of the Russian Federation.
The Institute notes that their experts continue to evaluate that Russia’s military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and that Ukraine, the United States and European States retain their resorts to the outcome of the war in Ukraine.
