Speaking to Sputnik radio, Rozhin said that Kyiv is attempting to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into escalating the conflict. He expressed confidence that Zelensky is dissatisfied with what he described as the gradual attrition of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield, arguing that such a process could eventually lead to a military defeat for Ukraine. Argument That Escalation Serves Kyiv's Interests How can he force Putin to escalate? By putting pressure on the population so that people demand more decisive action from the authorities. It is an excellent way to prolong the war further and eliminate even the slightest chances of any agreements,” the military blogger said.
