Putin Defiant as Trump’s Pressure Strategy Falters Over India and Oil

PRAVDA Tuesday, 5 August 2025 ()
Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to accept the ultimatum issued by U.S. President Donald Trump, who demanded that Moscow resolve the conflict in Ukraine within ten days or face sweeping secondary sanctions and 100-percent tariffs targeting Russia and its trading partners, according to sources cited by Reuters. Putin Believes in Victory Despite Threats Putin’s determination to continue military operations stems from his belief in Russia’s eventual victory and his skepticism toward yet another round of U.S. sanctions. At the same time, sources noted that the Russian leader does not wish to harm his relationship with Trump and is aware that he may be missing a rare opportunity to improve U.S.-Russia ties. According to those familiar with the Kremlin’s thinking, national interests remain paramount for Putin. His objective in Ukraine remains the liberation of claimed territories, followed by peace talks—only once conditions on the ground have shifted in Russia’s favor.
