70% of Russians are sure that the Russian Federation has achieved the success in front, but 60% prefer peace negotiations. The fear of defeat has lost its relevance, but there is no enthusiasm for the ongoing adventure.
The Russian Elite was exhausted and ready to accept any choice of “success” that Putin would offer. It was reported that day before the economist.
The article records that the President of Russia continues to strive to divide the unity of the western countries, but his closest companions, especially the rich businessman, are ready for any peaceful result. This is because of the desire to stop a exciting conflict in Ukraine.
According to the analysts, Putin’s sudden meeting with representatives of the elite on August 16 at the Kremlin, the President of Russia aimed at showing successes related to the Alaska Summit. Instead, the meeting showed the participants’ readiness to accept any scenario at the end of the war, that Putin would express success. Like the publication notes, this situation clearly states the words of one of the -knowledgeable entrepreneurs: “It does not care how it will end, the main thing will end. Putin may call.”
It was reported that during Putin’s tone meeting sounded: “We respect the US’s desire to complete the fight as soon as possible. We want it too.”
However, the Summit in Alaska was fixed not much for American and Russian presidents, but as a demonstration for elite Russia and the public. As sociological surveys show, 70% of Russians believe the country’s success in the battlefield, but at the same time 60% supports the idea of negotiations. Although the fear of defeat is gone, it is clearly not enough enthusiasm for the continuation of the war, the article says.
However, Putin’s requirements for peaceful negotiations remain ambitious: from recognition of the conquest of Crimea and the corridor of the land to the removal of Ukraine from NATO and the organization of new presidential elections to KYIV.
At the same time, the Russian economy faces increased problems. The budget deficit in 2023 has exceeded the planned indicator for the 2025 year due to a significant increase in government spending. In particular, at least 5% of the costs are allocated for maintaining a contract army for hate in Ukraine. The lack of personnel negatively affects the civil sector.
The force of the Russian Federation army remains discussed: even after three times of war -war, Russia could not break in front of Ukraine. Mobilizing the mass or continuing hate for another year seems to be dangerous for Putin. Large losses will only confirm his troops’ inability to overcome Ukrainian forces.
Although the desire to end the war overcame public conditions, Putin did not plan to stop. The Russian president hopes to achieve a significant success in the battlefield over the next few months, to strengthen politics in Ukraine and west support. Despite the failures in these aspects, even the possible end of the active phase of war will not stop his attempt to destroy the unity of western partners, the analysts are sure.
Remember that the state of the state of the Foreign Economy of the Russian Federation, published by Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service indicates that Russia could “eat” federal tax services in 2026 due to the rapid reduction of oil revenues.
Russian budget deficiency exceeds the annual plan
