Peace would threaten Russia’s war machine | Eastern Express

Signs of division are emerging inside Russia’s political and economic elite over the future of the war against Ukraine. Some officials reportedly want an exit, while Kremlin hardliners continue to demand escalation and long-term militarization.

Vladimir Putin appears increasingly dependent on advisers who filter out information that contradicts expectations of Russian victory. For many beneficiaries of the war, peace could bring sanctions, prosecution and the loss of power or wealth.

Eastern Express examines how this struggle inside the Russian regime could increase the risk of further aggression against Ukraine and its neighbors.
