Russia's internal conflict escalates
The article concerns Russia's situation more than four and a half years after the start of its war in Ukraine, where it faces significant losses and challenges. Despite this, the course of Russian President Vladimir Putin remains unchanged; he insists on continuing the war and does not expect to relinquish it anytime soon. The report explains that since Putin came to power in 2000, the Russian regime has developed extensive control over the state and the media, militarized society, and maintained a war atmosphere as a central component of national identity. Although the economy has deteriorated and taxes have increased, Putin bets on Russia’s ability to sustain the conflict and challenge Western pressures. He believes the war has become an integral part of the Russian political system. Military plans do not indicate an intention for immediate victory, but the regime is capable of using its institutions to carry on the conflict for years, aware that the war’s outcomes will remain linked to Putinism itself, which has become intertwined with the concept of the state and governance in Russia.
