I’ve read because they’re on a war economy, stopping the war would be catastrophic for Russia’s economy, and probably to Putin himself. But also continuing the war is also doing serious damage. That’s why Putin will never agree to any ceasefire.
I thought this question was going to be about whether they opened outside or inside.
