Putin's Ukraine Goals Unchanged: US Intelligence Report Reveals Kremlin's Strategy

Ukraine Conflict: US Intelligence Report Highlights Putin's Unchanged Goals. A recent US intelligence report suggests that despite significant losses and a protracted conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategic objectives in Ukraine remain largely unchanged. The report, titled "Assessment of Global Threats – 2025," was prepared by the US Military Intelligence for the US Congress. According to the report, Putin is almost certainly aiming for victory in Ukraine, with his goals remaining consistent since the start of the war. Oleksandr Musiyenko, head of the Center for Military-Legal Research, commented on this, stating, "The report indicates that Russia's goals remain unchanged: to destroy Ukrainian statehood." Musiyenko added that while some Russian officials may talk about changing objectives, their actions show otherwise. The report's findings have raised concerns among NATO allies about the potential for further escalation of the conflict. The situation underscores the need for continued international cooperation and support for Ukraine.
