In particular, the analysts decided to analyze the meeting of the Board of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, at which the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the head of the department Sergey Shoigu was present. According to experts from ISW, the statements of the Kremlin head indicate that Moscow has respected its tremendous losses and will seek to win the war against Ukraine.
"Shogu tried to justify public mobilization costs, recognizing that the call to the army was a" serious test "for Russian society necessary to protect the recently occupied territories in Ukraine. Putin probably believes that he will reduce the maximalist set of goals or determine shorter tasks , this provokes wide dissatisfaction with both the common Russian public and the ultranationalist community of war supporters, "the ISW report reads.
Analysts suggest that the Kremlin will continue to fulfill maximalist goals in Ukraine, expecting that Russian society will not criticize power for major combat losses. In addition, as noted in the ISW, at the meeting of the College, Putin and Shogu continued the information campaign aimed at forcing the West to push Kyiv to negotiate. It should be noted that on a day earlier Vladimir Putin, speaking at the College of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, voiced another nuclear threats.
