Vladimir Putin hasn’t had it this comfortable for a long time. Two weeks before the Russian presidential election, nothing stands in the way of another term in office, opposition candidates are not allowed, the inconvenient Alexei Navalny will be buried this Friday, and on the day of Putin’s speech to the nation, the Ukrainian army chief had to publicly admit how difficult it was the situation at the front is right now. So Putin has everything in his hands. Also the West, at least rhetorically.
