Putin made a mistake that he won't admit: Ex-Russian PM on Ukraine war

Former Russian PM Mikhail Kasyanov said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine was based on a flawed assessment by Russia’s security establishment. “He (Putin) made a mistake that he cannot bring himself to admit,” Kasyanov said. He added that Western nations’ biggest mistake was being too afraid of Putin. “He's not as strong as he appears," Kasyanov said.
