Watch episode

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?
This international expert on conflicts, intelligence services and crime answers these questions in this special episode, episode by journalist Pedro Pinto.

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

Because in a time of dizzying information, sometimes you have to pause before you can understand. Because not everything is that simple.
