Russian President Vladimir Putin has no desire to stop the war in Ukraine and believes he can “outsmart” the United States during negotiations with Washington on how to end the conflict, the head of Estonia’s foreign intelligence service, Kaupo Rosin, told Associated Press.
According to him, Moscow is biding its time in negotiations with the Americans and “there is absolutely no discussion about how to actually cooperate with the US in a meaningful way.”
Rosin further stated that the conclusions were based on intelligence his country gathered from “internal Russian discussions.” He did not elaborate on how the information was obtained. The Estonian report states that Russia is unlikely to attack the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) this year or next, but that Russia remains dangerous as it tries to strengthen its military.

“In his head, Putin still thinks he can actually win militarily in Ukraine at some point,” he added.
A White House official responded to the Estonian intelligence chief’s comments and said the president’s negotiators had made “tremendous progress” in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Source: Associated Press.
