Even Russia’s war hawks believe Putin can’t achieve victory in Ukraine
Even staunch supporters of the war in Russia are beginning to doubt President Vladimir Putin's ability to achieve victory in Ukraine. Oleg Tsaryov, a former Ukrainian lawmaker, has criticized the war as propaganda, while other officials call for a cease-fire to reassess Russia's position. Analysts argue that Putin's goals are fundamentally unachievable without a complete military occupation of Ukraine.
