I joined Ukrainian journalist Daniel Tkiie on Monday for a 29-minute analysis of a worried Vladimir Putin refusing talks for a ceasefire of his invasion of Ukraine.

I revisit last week’s trip of CIA Director John Ratcliffe to join the dots on the US message; Putin’s rejection of a summit with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump; and the Russian leader’s fear of the consequences of failure, including his removal from office and punishment.

I explain the outcome:

Putin is going to escalate the attacks on Ukraine because he has to try to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. He has to win it, and win it soon.

Are we facing Putin’s last big effort to break Ukraine this winter?
