The Russian economy is Putin's weakest point: increased sanctions may prompt negotiations with Ukraine, - Foreign Affairs

The Russian economy, which is under significant pressure from international sanctions, could become a key factor in Vladimir Putin's strategy to end the war in Ukraine.

According to experts, the strengthening of sanctions may lead to serious economic problems in Russia, which, in turn, will push the Kremlin to negotiate with Ukraine. This is one of the main topics of a new article in the authoritative American publication Foreign Affairs , which analyzes the situation with the Russian economy and the possible consequences for the political strategy of the Kremlin.

Today, Russia is not within a hair's breadth of death, therefore, in order to fulfill Trump's desire to end the war, the West will first have to increase the pressure on the Russian Federation. Due to the introduction of sanctions, Putin may feel the pressure and accept terms more favorable to Ukraine.

For example, more than 90% of Russian crude oil was transported to China and India using the shadow fleet. The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) can stop this fleet by imposing sanctions on individual vessels. All that is needed is political will.
