Vladimir Putin is “terribly scared” as he marks the first anniversary of his invasion of Ukraine, says a Russian general.
The dictator has badly misread the West’s resolve to stand up to him and did not realise his army’s incompetence, according to the former chief of the Moscow division of the FSB.
“Putin perfectly understands the mood of people who have lost everything because of him,” said retired General Yevgeny Savostyanov.
