Good article (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/30/ukraine-war-vladimir-putin-prigozhin-russia) - it's rare indeed to read something in 'western' media that actually shows some understanding of Russian history and culture.
You can never be sure about the real agendas, but my guess is that the NATO hawks' encouragement of Ukraine's rejection of the Minsk agreements was a gamble they now realise failed - and that the talk now of Ukraine defeating Russia is a public posture, aimed at Ukraine's morale, but that behind the scenes, or at least in their hearts, they know that something along the lines of Minsk is - always has been - the only realistic settlement.
