Moscow’s dead end: Putin is a prisoner of his propaganda. “There is no going back”

MOSCA – Prisoner of its own propaganda, the Kremlin carries out its “special military operation” in Ukraine without an exit strategy. He cannot aim for a peace agreement because elites and the population would interpret it as a surrender, but he has not yet defined a target to be sold as an honorable end to hostilities, nor decided what the future of what he calls “liberated regions” will be.
