The report, shared with Congress this month, finds Putin more entrenched than ever as he seeks to justify heavy troop losses and economic damage by expanding Russia’s territorial control.
In response, President Trump canceled a planned meeting with Putin in Budapest and imposed sanctions on two major Russian oil companies—the first punitive measures since returning to office.
Trump said the “tremendous” sanctions were meant to pressure Moscow into “making a deal” and ending the war.
