is Vladimir Putin’s strategy weakened?

Photos, on which Russian tanks are abandoned along the roads, charred and dismantled, illustrate the disappointments in Ukraine of the second military power in the world. In other images, Ukrainian soldiers recover weapons from Russian soldiers. Do these sequences, widely broadcast by Ukrainians, weaken Vladimir Putin? “If the Russian army is paralyzed, and it seems to be, [son] regime could be in bad shape. Because in the long Russian history, a lost war is very bad for a leader”analyzes Marc Cancian, expert at the center and strategic international studies.

According to British sources, Vladimir Putin had sacked two heads of the FSB Russian intelligence services. “He is upset, certainly, by the way things went in the first days. But in any case, it pushes him to his limits, and there is no question for him of giving up”, explains Jean-Sylvestre Mongrenier, specialist in Russian geopolitics. On the evening of Sunday March 13, 300 people were arrested in Moscow (Russia), while demonstrating against the war.
