Putin's Plan for a Completely Different War

RONZHEIMER. Politics and War

Show Notes

It’s an unprecedented event, a political sensation: the Russian dictator is restructuring his power apparatus, replacing the defense minister, and redistributing key positions. But what’s behind these promotions and dismissals? Which personnel has Putin brought to Moscow? And what does Gerhard Schröder have to do with the new war minister? Paul Ronzheimer analyzes the massive changes in the Kremlin with Filipp Piatov and what they mean for the war, the West, and Ukraine. Paul explains why the Kremlin restructuring can be crucial for the war and how Putin is working towards a completely different type of warfare.
