About this listen
Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to project total confidence, signaling that only he will decide the fate of the “Trump peace plan.” Meanwhile, Russian media remains intent on showcasing Ukraine’s corruption scandals, from Andriy Yermak’s downfall to Timur Mindich’s midnight escape to Israel. And what does the sudden resurrection of Mikhail Khodorkovsky as an “enemy within” reveal about Moscow’s anxieties as oligarchs circle around the emerging peace talks? In this episode, Andy Kuchins and Chris Monday dissect how Russian state media blends swagger, paranoia, and menace to shape the public mood. They explore what this week’s narratives say about the Kremlin's strategy, and how far it's prepared to go to keep control of the battlefield and the bargaining table.
