Currently, Vladimir Putin increases the pressure so, at least, it seems to be ready to make concessions, says resources.
The Ukraine and the United States agreement with minerals has caused a boredom in Moscow and has an additional impact on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This was reported by the Washington Post, citing resources on Friday, May 2.
It is indicated that representatives of the elite Russians are afraid of the rapprochement of Vladimir Zelensky and Donald Trump and believe that the Kremlin may miss the opportunity to end a more profitable agreement with Ukraine.
Currently, the pressure is growing in Putin so that he is at least ready to make concessions, told the Russian official based on the anonymous. And if not, then Russia is faced with a new pack of penalties in the US, prepared by Senator Lindsay Graham. They will be a “serious blow”, as the budget deficit is growing, the resource said.
Contrary to Brava, officials who say Russia have successfully cope with penalties, fear for the state of the economy plays a more meaningful role, the officer emphasizes, because “it is impossible to develop the economy exclusively to the mobilization model.”
It was noted that the “world party” condition in the Kremlin insisted that Putin accepted Trump’s conditions – along with freezing the war line in exchange for recognizing Crimea and the removal of penalties, but “Hawks”, as usual, wanted to fight, despite what.
Keep in mind that economic growth in Russia has slowed down dramatically: in the first quarter of 2025, the GDP grew only 1.7% after a 4.5% quarter earlier and 4.1% as a whole last year. Inflation lasts more than 10%, despite the Central Bank’s record rate of the Russian Federation, the industries, outside the military -industrial complex, combined with a backward, and a collapse in oil prices reduced budget revenues by almost 20%. Now the Ministry of Finance predicts that budget deficiency will be maximum since the time of pandemya – 3.8 trillion rubles rather than the initial plan of 1.2 trillion.
It is also known that Trump has prepared pressure options for Russia, which he previously tried to avoid.
