US sees no signs that Putin is willing to compromise on Ukraine

A recent US intelligence assessment warned that Putin is more determined to continue the war in Ukraine and win on the battlefield, according to a senior US official and a senior congressional official, NBC News reports.

The analysis, which was shared with members of Congress this month, showed no signs that Russia is willing to compromise on Ukraine.

Two other sources familiar with the matter said the assessment is consistent with how US and Western intelligence agencies have viewed the Russian regime's position since February 2022.

But now, according to the sources, Putin is believed to be taking a more aggressive stance than ever before.

The White House declined to comment on the recent intelligence assessment and pointed to Trump's public comments on a peace agreement.

“As the president has said, these are massive sanctions against two of their major oil companies, which he hopes will help end the war,” the official said.
