Peace in Ukraine and Putin’s Nightmares

Sniegon, Tomas LU (2025) In The Barents Observer
Abstract (Swedish)
Although Russian President Vladimir Putin is the only person who can end the war in Ukraine almost immediately, peace on the “Western Front” that he himself created is not necessarily just his free choice. The question is whether Putin and his circle of power can still afford a ceasefire with a neighboring country that they have plundered and destroyed – and to what extent. The answer is not only to be found in foreign policy. There are also important factors connected with structural aspects of the domestic regime.
