Russian President Vladimir Putin does not intend to stop the war against Ukraine, as he believes his forces are maintaining advances on the front; this is stated in the annual report of the U.S. intelligence community on global threats for 2026<\/strong>, published in the United States (document<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The authors of the assessment emphasize that Moscow<\/strong> sees no reason to cease hostilities despite significant losses and material costs. According to them, the Kremlin is oriented toward a protracted confrontation, calculating on the exhaustion of Ukraine and its partners rather than a rapid breakthrough on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

The report also warns that the continuation of the war increases the risk of a wider clash with NATO, including incidents that could escalate uncontrollably. It notes that certain scenarios could create a direct threat to the security of the United States itself, which is being given particular attention in Washington<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A separate section assesses the situation on the front. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the pace of Russian troop advances in 2025<\/strong> was the lowest in more than a century. At the same time, according to Black Bird Group, in early 2026<\/strong> Russia was losing more territory than it was gaining, indicating a shift in the balance in favor of Ukrainian defense in some areas.<\/p>\n

Factors increasing the risk include Moscow<\/strong>‘s nuclear rhetoric and the demonstrative use of dual-use missiles. Added to this is support from China, including supplies of dual-use technologies and goods, as well as heavy losses by the Russian military, which, however, do not affect the Kremlin’s strategic intentions.<\/p>\n

Analysts conclude that the Kremlin’s current logic is a long war of attrition with constant pressure on Ukraine and the West, the gradual achievement of political and military goals, and a willingness to ignore losses and international condemnation.<\/p>\n
