Vladimir Putin is often said to have a tsar-like grip on Russia. He is apparently so powerful that he even has Donald Trump in his pocket. Here, historian and Russia expert Mark Galeotti – author of Forged in War – explains why Putin actually faces far greater challenges than the West seems to realise, from the internal threats to his rule to the war’s rising costs and waning public support. Mark also discusses how the West betrayed Ukraine long before Trump’s arrival.
