What is the U.S. Intelligence Community's assessment of Vladimir Putin's goals regarding Ukraine?

According to multiple intelligence sources from the U.S. and allied countries, Vladimir Putin's goals regarding Ukraine have remained unchanged since before the 2022 invasion. Intelligence assessments indicate that Putin still wants to take control of all of Ukraine, not just parts of it. This assessment has led to significant skepticism about Putin's willingness to engage in genuine peace negotiations. While there is a belief that Putin might agree to a ceasefire, intelligence sources suggest this would be a tactical move rather than a signal of changed objectives, as he recognizes his forces' current limitations.
