U.S. intelligence: Putin has not abandoned plans to conquer Ukraine
Classified U.S. intelligence reports cast doubt on Vladimir Putin's willingness to end the war against Ukraine, assessing that the Russian president has not veered from his maximalist goal of dominating his western neighbor.
That is according to The Washington Post, citing people familiar with the intelligence analysis
The reports are not intended to assess President Donald Trump's high-stakes diplomacy to end the three-year Ukraine war or the prospects of a 30-day ceasefire proposal that U.S. and Ukrainian officials agreed on this week. But they underscore the tough task Trump and his national security team face, and raise the question of whether the White House is misreading Putin's willingness to seek peace.
