Konstantin Eggert MBE (Hon) - Putin's Small Victorious War and its Momentous Consequences for Russia

Putin expected Ukraine to roll over in days when he launched the full-scale war in February 2022. But this was a tragic misreading of the Ukraine people and their relationship with their leaders and system of government – which they were prepared to fight for and lay down their lives for. Instead of a small victorious war, Putin has become entangles in a quagmire that has now claimed more Russian lives than 10 years of war in Afghanistan. That war helped to accelerate the collapse of the Soviet Union – so what awaits Russia now it is in a much less stable situation under sanctions and potential defeat. ---------- SPEAKER: Konstantin von Eggert MBE is a freelance journalist, commentator, and communications consultant.
