Financial Times: Putin is preparing for an even bigger war

Russian President Vladimir Putin is not looking for a way out of the war in Ukraine, but is preparing for an even bigger war, the Financial Times reports.

In its wide-ranging analysis of the current situation in the Kremlin, the paper says it is understandable that many in Ukraine and in the West want to believe that the Russian president has backed himself into a corner, as the Ukrainian army is gradually retaking territories occupied by the Russians and has proven capable of striking deep into enemy territory, even into the Kremlin.

In Moscow, however, it is reported that they believe they can afford a protracted war, largely due to the fact that the Russian economy is growing despite sanctions, and thanks to military factories running non-stop, with a windfall from energy products in the year passed.

The analysis points out that the Russian president is counting on the fact that Russia can mobilize three to four times more soldiers than Ukraine, which, according to the FT, is most likely the purpose of the newly adopted law that raised the age limit for military service from the 27th to the 30th.

The law also provided that invitations to serve in the army could be received electronically, and that Russian borders would be closed immediately to prevent a mass exodus of military-age men like the one last fall.

Diffusion of conflict

The Financial Times points out that Moscow is simultaneously strangling the Ukrainian economy and therefore, not only withdrew from the Black Sea wheat export agreement, but also bombed Ukrainian ports such as Odessa, and the same logic applies to Russian airstrikes, where the aim is to make Ukrainian cities uninhabitable and prevent reconstruction.

The Kremlin hopes that the rapid renewal of the Russian military and the gradual destruction of Ukraine's economy and armed forces will result in increased disillusionment in the West and a decrease in material support for Kiev.

To accelerate this process and break the will of the West, Moscow uses threats of escalation, including the spread of the conflict on the territory of NATO member countries through Belarus, with the help of soldiers of the Wagner unit stationed in that country.

The "Financial Times" further underlines that the Kremlin chief's obsession with the destruction and subjugation of Ukraine may last as long as Putin is in power.

At the end of the analysis, it is said that Putin has made many "fatal mistakes", but as long as he is in charge of Russia, Moscow will use its great resources in the war in Ukraine.
