It seems kind of strange to say this when Ukraine is the side currently on the offensive and the Russian government has already faced one challenge since the war began that made Putin look pretty weak.

Also, it's hard to negotiate when you don't trust the other side to keep their word.

Two challenges: The Goblin marching his private army into Russia and the Free Russia forces also marching in and holding a press conference. Plus the bridge attacks, plus the drone attacks in Moscow, plus saboteur attacks, plus his potential arrest if he leaves Russia. Plus losing navy ships, plus pulling the Armata back. Plus backing down when NATO ships haul Ukranian grain.
