Edward Lucas - Is Putin the Architect of his own Destruction - or does West Bear Some of the Blame?

Putin claims that a belligerent NATO forced his hand to invade Ukraine. He undoubtedly also feared an independent, democratic, and affluent Ukraine. But like a classical Greek drama, Putin has by his actions, created the very conditions here fears. NATO more united than ever, with new members Finland and Sweden. A resurgent West remembering its values and rearming. And Ukraine – strong like never before, a nation emerging from the amnesia of history and from under the yoke of centuries of imperial domination. Is Putin the architect of his own destruction – and will his hubris be his undoing, like a Greek tragedy?

Edward Lucas was one of the first journalists to raise the alarm about Putin’s actions and motivations. While most of the world still thought of Putin as ‘someone we could do business with’, Edward published a prescient and insightful book in 2008 called “The New Cold War – Putin’s threat to Russia and the West”. Edward Lucas is now a full-time Liberal Democrat is a Prospective candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster constituency, on a platform that includes defending democracy against dirty money and corruption. He is a columnist for The Times and has been a Senior Editor on the Economist. Edward is a Senior Fellow at the Centre for European Policy Analysis.
