Russian President Vladimir Putin is growing increasingly concerned about the country's economy as US President Donald Trump calls for the war in Ukraine to end, five unnamed sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Putin believes key objectives of the war in Ukraine, such as securing a land corridor to Crimea and weakening Ukraine's military, have been achieved, according to a Kremlin insider. He is also aware of the war's economic toll, including the strain of high interest rates on non-military businesses and industries.
