    As I see it, due #Putin’s systematic and stacked cognitive biases - which are #perfectly illustrated by the “full control over Kupyansk” story - he and his circle has significantly drifted away from the physical reality ,because that’s the only way to sustain the image of “great leader” that Russian elite has itself constructed.

    Putin has built this trap for himself by declaring all the maximalist goals and annexing four Ukraine regions in 2023, and he’s now hostage of his own sabre rattling. Unfortunately, under the very system based on organised crime values he built himself in Russia, not delivering on these promises would be a sign of weakness. And he can’t deliver, so he found himself in a trap.

    But since the only exit strategy available for him is to sustain the bullshit and hope the situation will “somehow resolve itself”, that’s precisely what he’s doing - that’s why we now have the Kupyansk story. Objectively, this only further ridicules him and increases the cognitive gap between himself and the physical reality, but he doesn’t have much choice - that is, in his own frame of reference.

    Objectively, if he declared exit from the war even in April 2022 everyone would be only relieved and ready to offer Russia any perks in exchange and #Russia would massively benefit from such a choice. But the interest of Russia as a state is the least of Putin’s worries, he’s only worried about his personal position - interest of the state and his personal are completely separate things as of today. Yet, he is of course consistently pursuing the latter, because that’s what all Russian rules have been always doing.

    Of course, there’s no magic solution here - many Russians believe Trump will somehow magically “force Zelensky into submission” thus offering a safe exit for Putin, but that’s delusional thinking. It’s not Zelensky who’s holding the front line, it’s thousands of Ukrainians who do it and Zelensky is just as much their “hostage”, except this one is very much in democratic and positive sense. Neither Putin nor Trump can “make a deal” with Zelensky alone, but they clearly don’t understand it.

    All that taken together means that Putin is likely going to prolong the war as much as he has any resources left while the probability of uncontrolled and violent collapse of Russia will be increasing, and then it will materialise. Russia will collapse in an uncontrolled way, and everyone will have to deal with the fallout.

    This could have of course happened much earlier - I mean defeat of Putin - but because Western countries and especially US are obsessed with avoidance of “uncontrolled collapse of Russia”, the only possible outcome is for them to let Russians lead to the collapse on their own. This will be the only case when it will be “nobody’s fault” and certainly not the “fault” of the West.

    Of course that’s only in the objective world, because in Russian narratives everything will be blamed on the West, just like they blamed collapse of the USSR or 1998 financial crisis, both of which they were 100% responsible for.
