Vladimir Putin has given no indication that Russia intends to stop its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as attention turns to an upcoming foreign policy speech by the Russian president.
The address is expected to be closely watched for any sign of a change in Moscow’s approach to the war. However, the current indications point towards the conflict continuing rather than Russia stepping back from its campaign.
Russia is instead described as doubling down on its war in Ukraine. The supplied material does not provide further details of the speech, including its timing, specific proposals or any new announcements.
For now, there is no reported sign of a decision by Mr Putin to end the invasion. The speech may provide further indication of Russia’s position, but the latest assessment is that the full-scale war will continue.
