INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

A combination of current and retrospective data spanning nearly 20 years indicates that the Russian government's decisions in the budgetary, tariff, monetary, and foreign economic spheres form a coherent picture and represent a deliberate long-term choice, made 15-20 years ago, and that ending the war in Ukraine and normalizing relations with the West are not part of the Russian government's plans, according to a report on Kyiv Security Forum (KSF) website on Thursday.
