The West continues to seek a path to negotiations with Putin, but the Kremlin is not backing down from the war. Michael Naki explained why diplomatic concessions aren't working and what three factors could force the dictator to stop.
Russia is a country that is the largest in the world by territory and ninth by population.
The Russian state emerged in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR.
The leader of Russia is the dictator Vladimir Putin, who is waging war in Ukraine and is an international war criminal.
The court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Putin for the abduction of Ukrainian children and their relocation to the territory of Russia or Belarus.
After the start of the full-scale war, Russians and Russia have become outcasts: no country in the world is glad to see Russians on its territory, sanctions are in force against Russia, and they need to be strengthened.
