TLDR: There was a recent shakeup of the Russian top brass and an economist was put in a top job. He thinks the economist has told Putin that this can not be sustained given Russia's capability and Western promised support. Putin might actually be listening and why he wants to settle on current control.

Good assessment. The only water I'd throw on your fire is that authoritarians are incredibly reactive to personalities and presentations.

It's possible new faces literally changed Putin's mind on things he had already heard, simply because the message was coming from someone new.
