Two conditions that will force the RF to change course in the war.
The West is increasingly talking about the gradual approach to the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war. One of the reasons is the increasing pressure on Russia from the United States. If this situation persists and the Kremlin's economic situation does not improve, Vladimir Putin will have to make important decisions regarding Ukraine.
Russia's economic problems
Political technologist Abbas Galliamov in a commentary to 24 Kanal noted that Russia's resources are slowly running out. According to him, the Kremlin has begun to classify from the population data that was previously open. This is probably related to the protests in Iran that erupted due to deteriorating living standards of citizens.
"Russia now has serious economic problems, in particular inflation and rising prices. This is very worrying for the Kremlin and indicates a difficult situation," Galliamov emphasized.
He added: "If Donald Trump keeps up the pressure, at some point Putin will have nowhere to go and will have to end the war."
The difficulties of Russians
According to the expert, significant difficulties are also experienced by Russians on the ground, in particular by residents of the Belgorod region, where there are serious problems with energy supply. Even the governor of the region urges people to go to their relatives to survive the winter.
"This whole region is turning into refugees, and the authorities are not concerned about their rescue. The state lacks resources to help its citizens," Galliamov noted.
The political technologist emphasized that because of such situations, Russians begin to think why they should fight for Donbass if they suffer so much at home because of it. He added that the intensification of such rhetoric and US pressure could force the Kremlin to look for ways to end the war in Ukraine.
