According to Reuters, obtained from informed sources, U.S. intelligence reports have consistently warned that Putin has not abandoned his goal of seizing the entire Ukraine and reclaiming parts of European territory from the Soviet era. Since Russia launched its so-called "special military operation" against Ukraine in 2022, intelligence agencies from the United States and European countries have largely agreed on their assessment of Russian objectives. In contrast, the Trump team has consistently stated that Putin wants to end the conflict. On Saturday, the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, posted on X, stating that intelligence officials have briefed members of Congress that "Russia seeks to avoid a larger war with Europe," and the performance of Russian forces in Ukraine indicates that they currently lack the capability to occupy "the entire Ukraine, let alone the entire Europe." Haines accused the "deep-state hawks" of again trying to undermine Trump's efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine and throughout Europe. Dmitryev, a Russian negotiator, thanked Haines on X for exposing the attempt by the U.S. "deep government" to provoke a conflict between Russia and Europe.
