Fred Fleitz to Newsmax: Sanctions, Isolation May Be Creating ‘Cracks’ in Kremlin

Mounting sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and economic pressure from the Trump administration may be producing “cracks” inside the Kremlin, former National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz said Sunday on Newsmax.

“It was generally thought that [Vladimir] Putin is not going to budge on the war in Ukraine, but I think it’s possible that these efforts by Trump — sanctions, economic pressure, diplomatic isolation — are having an effect,” Fleitz told Newsmax’s “Sunday Report.”

“It may mean there’s some cracks,” he added. “That may mean we can eventually make some pressure.”
