In the report released Monday, Russia is said to be preparing for a broad campaign with conventional means, trying to keep the currently occupied territories and win even further.
He will try to keep current territories occupied and gain new ones, but he is unlikely to plan a sharp escalation, for example, in the form of nuclear weapons use or, rather, a <x0) ceasefire, the report says.
The institute suggests that partial mobilization cost Putin severe criticism within the camp and that hundreds of thousands of Russians from Russia fled.
Putin hopes to currently maintain positions in Ukrainian territories by the end of spring, so that according to the Institute, there will be time for the training of the reserve.
“at the same time, Putin dreams of a cold winter and a lack of fuel would force some of the European countries to reduce aid for Ukraine and become softer in relations with Russia”, said further in the statement.
