Russian ex-PM says Putin cannot admit Ukraine mistake

Original: 🇷🇺 Ex-PM says # Putin cannot admit 'mistake' over Ukraine 💬 "He made a mistake that he cannot bring himself to admit," K

Former Russian prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov, speaking in Paris, said President Putin made a serious mistake by invading Ukraine and is now unable to admit it. Kasyanov, 68, said Putin relied on flawed reports from his security services that Ukraine was weak and would fall quickly. The remarks add to criticism from exiled Russian opposition figures about the Kremlin's miscalculations in the war.

Why now: Kasyanov's comments from Paris offer a rare insider critique of Putin's war decisions as the Ukraine conflict remains in the spotlight.
