Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is increasingly concerned about the situation in the Russian economy. This is written by Reuters, informs Censor.net.

According to the source, some of the Russian elite think that a settlement of the war through negotiations is desirable because of this.

“Putin believes that the key objectives of the war have already been achieved, in particular control of the territory that connects mainland Russia with Crimea, and the weakening of the Ukrainian military,” the newspaper said, citing an anonymous source.

The Russian dictator also admits that the war puts a strain on the economy because it has “really big problems”.

The main cause of inflation in Russia is the huge cost of war.

Recall that the 47th President of the United States Donald Trump called on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to end the war against Ukraine and conclude a peace agreement. Otherwise, he threatened Russia with large taxes and sanctions.
