Who is Vladimir Putin? "A judo player, not a chess player," according to expert on Russian politics and security affairs Mark Galeotti in this special episode of «It's Not That Simple» dealing with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Is the Russian leader today a different leader from the one we've known in recent years? What has happened to this superpower's troops in Ukraine? And how will international sanctions accentuate the divisions between oligarchs and the «siloviki» military elite surrounding Putin?

«It's Not That Simple» brings you major current affairs issues, simplified by leading experts.
