Vladimir Putin has no intention of stopping his invasion of Ukraine, according to a Moscow-based defence analyst, who said the war has become 'practically Putin's life's work' and that the Russian leader will keep fighting for as long as he draws breath.
The assessment, published by the Wall Street Journal, comes as Russian forces face mounting battlefield losses that are now outstripping new recruitment, fuelling speculation that the Kremlin may be forced into a fresh mobilisation drive it has spent years trying to avoid.
