Why Putin Has No Reason to End This War | Ben Hodges

Russia-Ukraine peace talks are continuing. But behind the diplomatic language and carefully staged meetings, a far darker reality is becoming clear. Despite months of negotiations, Russia has not backed down from a single one of its core demands. Vladimir Putin has given no indication that he is willing to accept any outcome that falls short of his original objectives. And while talks continue in Geneva and elsewhere, the fundamental dynamic of the conflict remains unchanged. In this part 2 of 2, General Ben Hodges, former Commanding General of US Army Europe, explains why these negotiations may be structurally incapable of producing a real peace—and why the war is likely to continue until Russia is physically and strategically forced to stop. Part 1:    • Europe Is Now Facing a Much More Dangerous...   We discuss why Putin has no incentive to end the war, how Russia’s war economy is sustaining the conflict while quietly cannibalising the country’s long-term future, and why Ukraine cannot rely on vague promises or undefined “security guarantees.” We also examine Europe’s critical role in shaping the outcome—and why its willingness, or unwillingness, to act decisively may determine the future of the continent’s security. Perhaps most importantly, we explore the uncomfortable truth at the heart of these talks: diplomacy alone cannot end this war unless it is backed by credible force. Because this is no longer just a negotiation. It is a test of endurance, political will, and strategic reality. And until one side is forced to accept defeat, the war will continue. 👉 Let me do the overthinking for you.
