Draft a 5-sentence prompt that weaves a time-lapse of Putin’s 25-year rule with a clear question about Russia’s future, using an Eastward pivot and sanctions as core tensions. Start by naming a pivotal milestone (e.g., 2000, 2014, 2022) and pose a central question: Can Russia sustain power and influence under sustained pressure while shifting toward Asia? Then: summarize how domestic controls, legitimacy, and economic model interact with demographic and geopolitical pressure. Conclude with a guiding question for readers: what should Western policymakers and ordinary citizens consider as Russia recalibrates its strategy? Include one short, data-grounded hook from your sources to anchor the piece.
