Ex-russian prisoner shares Putin's possible moves for next US president
Recently-freed Russian opposition figure warns about Putinʼs plans to test future US leadership. His insights come from years of observing Kremlinʼs behavior and personal experience with Russian system
Ilya Yashin‚ who got out of russian prison this summer due to a east-west prisoner exchange gives a stark warning about Vladimir Putinʼs next moves. The well-known anti-kremlin figure (who got an 8-year sentence for speaking against Ukraine war) shared his thoughts in a sit-down chat last week
Putin is a sexist. He doesnt respect women
The ex-prisoner thinks Putin will try to push Harris limits if she wins presidency; his goal being to check how far he can go with the new leadership. The russian leader seems to wait for post-election time hoping US support for Ukraine will get smaller
Putin looks forward to making a world-wide deal with whoever becomes the next US president: this includes splitting up control zones in east-europe and beyond. Yashin points out that any leader dealing with Putin must show real strength — like dealing with a school-yard bully who only understands force
The opposition figure draws a hard-hitting comparison between possible deals with Putin and the old munich agreement of 38ʼ when nazis got parts of czechoslovakia. He thinks such agreements would lead to bigger problems: a path straight to another global war
