A recognized analyst claims that Putin's efforts so far have allowed him to avoid the crash, but in the long run, the dictator directs the country towards an imminent economical collapse. “When that happens, Russia will no longer be able to meet even the basic needs of its population, as has happened many times in its history,” says Bryza.
"Russian past clearly shows this"
“ Yes, the nominally Russian economy continues to grow, but it actually falls,” adds the diplomat, citing the fact that Russia has almost completely switched to war production, which only drains the country’s resources.
The diplomat stressed that the Donald Trump administration would effort to end the war as shortly as possible to focus on another strategical objectives .

— We're dealing with a intellectual confrontation here, and I don't think Putin will always be able to force Trump to compromise. Donald Trump considers himself much stronger than Putin, says a erstwhile diplomat.
“Trump realizes Putin is not as strong as he erstwhile thought”
According to Bryza, Donald Trump views him Vladimir Putin as the weaker side in this confrontation and is willing to put force on him.
— During Trump's first term, I feared that he could make a deal behind Ukraine's back due to the fact that I overestimated Putin's influence and capabilities, says erstwhile U.S. diplomat.
— Now I think Trump realizes that Putin is not as strong as he erstwhile thought, and that the key interests of the United States lie elsewhere. He wants to end the Russian war in Ukraine so he can focus on another strategical priorities. At the same time, Putin will not be able to exert excessive influence, adds erstwhile Assistant Secretary of State of the United States.
