Russia’s Vladimir Putin is obsessed with his legacy. He has compared himself to Peter the Great, the tsar who founded St Petersburg and created the modern Russian empire.
That was Putin’s plan but with Ukrainian forces now pushing back and Russian men fleeing the country, it’s not going the way he had hoped.
So is he losing his hold on power?
We speak to Angela Stent, an author, professor and an expert in all things Russia and Putin. She explains that while Putin’s legacy is damaged and his hold on power is slightly weaker – it’s too early to say if this is the beginning of the end for the Russian leader.

'If Putin runs again…' the kind of slip that brushes with truth.
This war will lead to grave results in the western world. Russia will go down, but Europe will not be Europe any more.
Putin!!! got a headache!! So we should fix it for him!!! Give him a slug between the eyes!!
I think Biden has lost control..
It will also be the beginning of democracy in Russia.

Russia will not lose this War if they end it and withdraw it will not be they lost, it will be a deal has been made by the West. Russia has too many friends in the energy World and energy is the key here not the weaponry.
The Russian people need to remove the elderly , ill , senile Putin. Who is going to clean up his mess when he is dead. Time for Russia to look for a new leader.

Why didn't we hear this about Russia when Trump was in power pls stop the Ganda
You Ukrainians have been begging for help and getting it from day one we know this from watching the news .this lady said when Putin first came to power he wanted better relationship with the west . Then she went around the block when the interviewer asked if she thought that attitude had changed .
Probably not. He will just buckle down at home and become more repressive. Only the russian elites can dethrone him before he kills all of them….
interviewer is braindead
You guy’s are doing well selling Putin: He’s been such a boon to people repeating words that serve only to infuriate. He is infuriating, but you’re not very much different
British propaganda lol
Putin can only afford diainformation and misinformation regarding him getting stronger or weaker….he will be mightier to form strategy and plan further for his Russian federation for future….he is expert and experienced to value security and secrecy…
Is Putin losing control? Is the ruble more powerful than ever? I get very different narratives depending on the video I'm clicking on. That being said as someone on the European continent who is not fond of my leaders, of Putin, of Biden, I m not sure which one is a propaganda supposed to make me happy. I'm not part of the war effort. I don't need to be convinced that my sacrifice is not in vain. I m freaking glad that my country is less corrupt (by a little margin) than China or Russia. Putin's monopoly on gas and petrol would suck for pretty much everybody but him and oligarchs. I hope it is a wake up call to Europe to notice that our soil is void of energy. We need innovation and unfortunately, nuclear energy and electric transports. So far, I think that India is winning this war.
Full of fake news , channel for good for that
Total BS this lady is just another establishment toadie. Check out Scott Ritter, New Atlas, Redacted, or the Duran to find out what is really happening in Ukraine. and it ain't remotely Like good ole CH 4 and their lackey are describing. These warmongers are sacrificing innocent Ukraine lives in their sick quest to bring about regime change in RUSSIA.
Thats how The west does we assist with weaponry and training to use weaponry.
a phoney war bankrolled by UKraine and uncle sam as there own countries fall into financial ruin
putin has been very patient with look at me zelenski while inocent familys
get caught up in his self serving folly
of course he will amass a personal fortune fr
om the arms deals and salt it away
for him when vlad spits the dummy and chases him out the country
this war is against Russia and the USA. Europe is defendeded…by America
This is delusional.
Sad thing is, Putin would not admit he made a hugh mistake in lunching Russia's attack on Ukraine!
Russia will indeed collapse without strong leadership and unfortunatly Putin is weak and deranged. He thought he could be strong by killing all rivals and successors. Instead he has undermined himself and will lead to Russia yet again destroying itself from the inside, Russia is made of many states and it is only a matter of time now before they break away from Moscow leadership that steals their resources and kills their youth, all for the ego of a deranged old madman.
Is losing control?
Today see who loose control..
Dont put ur hand in asshle before she frat😂
We are the baddies people. We are funding White supremacists and Nazis in Ukraine and were part of terrorist bomb attacks on innocent civilians. Boris put an end to peace talks between Ukraine and Russia also. Every war the US and UK have been part of these last 2 decades have been about oil and money. This war is no different.
Nonsense, the lady started lying since the beginning. Russians have never tried to get Kiev!!!
Bullshit Russia is winning
her arguments are those of propaganda and gossip, the history of Russia is more than "a thousand years of autocrats and authoritarianism", it is that, but furthermore is also the history of Moscovia as an expanding empire.
A propaganda machine against Rusian
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Isaiah 13:17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
Isaiah 13:18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
