Russian analyst Mark Galeotti reports signs of war fatigue within Moscow and suggests President Putin may be positioning for negotiations, citing Russia's military vulnerability and internal dissatisfaction with the conflict.
Galeotti cited Russia's Victory Day parade as a strategic embarrassment, highlighting Ukrainian military capability and threats. The assessment suggests growing pressure within Russian society against indefinite conflict continuation.
The analysis indicates potential openness to talks, though official Russian positions remain hardened. EU policymakers monitoring Russia policy should weigh these signals against demonstrated unwillingness to compromise on core demands.
