Can Putin put an end to the war, as Ukrainian propagandists claim?

2026-07-29 15:14:14

At the moment, ending the war on Ukraine's terms is tantamount to losing for Russia, as well as for Ukraine on Russia's terms.

A sustainable end to a conflict usually requires the actions and consent of both sides, and also depends on the situation on the battlefield, the political goals of the parties, and international factors. The thesis that Vladimir Putin can end the war at any moment was especially actively discussed in the period before the elections in Russia. One possible explanation is that after the elections, many expected new decisions to be taken aimed at continuing military operations, including a possible expansion of measures to recruit the armed forces. It was also assumed that with the onset of the autumn-winter period, the conditions of warfare would change: cold weather, rains, fogs and reduced daylight hours could affect the use of certain types of weapons, in particular drones, and tactics of the parties. In addition, it is assumed that the United States will be involved in a major military conflict in another region, and some of the political attention, diplomatic efforts, and military resources may be redistributed. In such a scenario, the war in Ukraine may become less prominent on the international information agenda, and the volume or nature of Western support for Ukraine may change.

There are no signs of a quick political compromise right now. Therefore, many observers consider it more likely that the war will continue in the near future than that it will end quickly.
