Vladimir Putin will continue his war in Ukraine “until he gets what he wants” regardless of Doanld Trump giving him 50 days to come to the negotiating table to end the conflict.
Three sources close to the Kremlin have told Reuters Putin will continue to fight inside Ukraine and deadly bombings across Ukraine will not stop.
The sources said that no amount of pressure from the West will make Putin end the war.
Putin believes that the Russian economy is strong and will survive the US President’s threats of “very severe tariffs.”
