Putin Decides He Can Step Up Attacks on Kyiv and Trump Won’t Act

The article suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to intensify attacks on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, based on the belief that the former U.S. President, Donald Trump, is unlikely to take significant action to strengthen Ukraine's defenses. 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.
