This assessment is reportedly made by people close to the Kremlin. The article implies that Putin believes escalating military pressure is the best way to compel Ukraine to engage in negotiations on terms favorable to Russia. The article does not provide specific details about the planned military escalation or the potential response from the current U.S. administration under President Joe Biden.
