Russian President Vladimir Putin believes Russia will benefit if the war in Ukraine escalates. William Burns, director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), made the remarks.
However, the CIA believes that even if President Putin is focused on the war, he will not use strategic nuclear weapons.
The CIA director said Putin was in a state of mind where he did not believe he could be defeated in the Ukraine war. President Putin has been in “concern” for years over the Ukraine issue, part of the Soviet Union.
