The Russian invasion of Ukraine lasted for about two months, but strong opposition from Ukrainian forces halted President Vladimir Putin.
At the end of March, Russia announced a change in the line of Russian strategy, and Putin’s alleged goal of controlling the country and spreading a pro-Russian regime in the capital, Kyiv, was suspended. Instead, the primary focus was on the Donbass region, but after another four weeks, the Russians had made little progress.
This indicates that things are not going according to plan.

– betrayer
After Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Putin withdrew more and more. It is usually Kremlin spokesmen who give an update on the war, and no one knows for sure where the president actually is.
But according to Efron, he’s not particularly happy during the day.
– He feels betrayed by everyone. Efron tells the Swedish newspaper that he may be feeling very frustrated express.

– misjudge
The outside world was also quick to impose heavy sanctions on Russia, Putin and his allies after the invasion of Ukraine.
It should have come as a surprise to the Russian president, according to Efron.
– He never thought Europe would resist. He believed that everyone depended on Russian oil and gas, and that everyone would sit on their feet and take care of their own interests, she tells Expressen, adding:
– But now, when all Europe together resist him, you see that he is very, very angry. I see him in his eloquence, the way he walks, his facial expressions and expressions.
