‘Put Putin on trial’: pro-Kremlin hardliner turns on president & interview with Britain’s leading military expert
Ukraine: The Latest
Advice to European leaders
Freedman urges Europe to lead diplomacy, improve defence procurement, and offer technical mediation support to Ukraine.
Day 1,484.
Today, as Russian casualty figures continue to climb, we ask whether Moscow’s long-anticipated spring offensive has already begun. We also return to the situation in Moscow, where Vladimir Putin has been absent from public view for several days, as a formerly loyal supporter issues a dramatic call for the Russian president to step down. Then we examine the significance of comments by the CIA director on Moscow’s involvement with Iran, before speaking to one of Britain’s leading historians of strategy about where the war now stands – and the key mistakes made by both Russia and Ukraine.
