How Entangled Is Vladimir Putin's Fate With The Outcome Of The Russia-Ukraine War?

Emily Ferris, research fellow for Russia and Eurasia for the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) told HuffPost UK that it might be fair to call it Putin’s war. She explained that all of the preparations and organisation of the invasion were arranged by a small group of people around the Russian president. Ferris added: “Most commanders in the ministry of defence were kept in the dark, which has obviously created a lot of military logistical and coordination problems from the Russia side.”
