Defence24.com, he talks about the divisions in the Russian opposition, Moscow's calculations regarding negotiations with Ukraine, the Kremlin's fears of another mobilization, and the increasing threat of Russian attacks on European countries. He besides explains why a future Russia must undergo a fundamental political transformation and not just replace Vladimir Putin with another leader.
