“Control over the process and conditions must remain with Moscow. Russia’s strategy is to maximize the intensity of retaliatory strikes so that Kyiv agrees to dialogue. The situation at the front is also putting pressure on Kyiv,” the publication says.

The material recalled that the largest steel producer, ArcelorMittal, recently announced it would stop production to preserve infrastructure amid the shocks.

“Ukraine finds itself in a critical situation. The government has virtually no money, and further assistance from the EU remains uncertain,” the article concluded.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that failures at the front should push Kyiv to sit down at the negotiating table now. In addition, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, pointed out that Ukrainian units were suffering losses and were rapidly losing their combat effectiveness.

Earlier, President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with India Today that either the Russian army will liberate the Kiev-controlled territories by force, or the Ukrainian Armed Forces will leave them on their own and stop killing people there.
