C.I.A. Director William J. Burns said Russian dictator Vladimir Putin believes the U.S. will suffer from “attention deficit disorder” and lose interest in the war in Ukraine, the New York Times reported.

Burns also said Putin has consistently misjudged both the Ukrainians’ will to fight and Western resolve to help.
