Putin’s Trip to Kursk Sends Clear Power Message to Western Elites – Experts
13:05 GMT 21.05.2025 (Updated: 13:26 GMT 21.05.2025) Vladimir Putin’s visit to Russia's border region shows that the country has restored the status quo and is ready for any scenario, Ali Baydoun, a Lebanese expert on international relations, tells Sputnik.
"The Russian army regrouped, reclaimed occupied territory, and can now intensify pressure on Ukraine."
"Europe should pursue political-economic deals with Moscow, not sanctions, to stabilize its own situation."
Putin’s visit is indeed a statement that Russia won’t back down or compromise even in the wake of recent talks, agrees Algerian political science professor Radwan Bouhidel.
“Like Trump, Putin knows the war won’t end militarily, but the Russian leader looks for a political solution and wants to start talks from a position of strength and he is not ready for any concessions," the expert stresses.
