With a tenuous ceasefire holding in Ukraine, we asked\xa0Fiona Hill\xa0onto the show to discuss the man behind the unrest: Vladimir Putin. Fiona is the\xa0co-author of\xa0Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin, and a\xa0Senior Fellow and Director of the\xa0Center on the United States and Europe\xa0at Brookings. On the\xa0Lawfare\xa0Podcast,\xa0Fiona tackles the hard questions about Putin. Who exactly is he? What does he want? Is Putin an unhinged madman obsessed with personal appearances or a shewed realist with a nuanced understanding of the geopolitical challenges his country faces? And, how should the West respond to Russian aggression based on what we know about its leader?
It's an important look\xa0at an often\xa0caricatured\xa0but rarely understood man--The\xa0Lawfare\xa0Podcast: Who is Vladimir Putin?\xa0
