Who is Vladimir Putin? – BBC News
Who is the Russian President, and what does he want with Ukraine?
Vladimir Putin is the President of Russia, and has been the country’s leader for more than 22 years.
He grew up in an area which is now St Petersburg. His political career began when he and his family moved to Moscow in 1996, and he quickly became an important political figure.
The BBC’s Ros Atkins looks at Putin’s life and his world view – and how they influence the decision he took this week.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Vladimir Putin president worthy of the great, magnanimous and victorious Russian nation over would-be global dominators. Lucky for England and the United States! If he was crazy like the Jew Adolf Hitler, the United States and England would have already been hit with nuclear missiles in the ass. The United States and England are losing the ability to rob other countries.

It's much worse that those who are in trouble are those who believed in the United States, NATO and, most importantly, England! The United States is not independent, it is just an English little house! Ukraine was just cannon fodder!

Skepticism already existed before the first dollar bill arrived in Ukraine as aid, but it was not for those Ukrainians who wanted to see it in their pocket, as well as all corrupt Western interests.
Recognition of counteroffensive 'stalemate' by Kiev leads to skepticism in US Congress
Valeri Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, admitted that Russia is in a better position in the armed conflict due to its larger population and a more robust economy with more resources, while also acknowledging the lack of progress in the counteroffensive.

Only problem is Russia has an absurd alphabet and is a different language.

'I will separate Putin from Xi Jinping': Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's exotic doctrine
Vivek Ramaswamy, American businessman and candidate for the 2024 presidential elections for the Republican Party, has attracted attention in the media due to his unorthodox positions on foreign policy.
Speaking recently at the Nixon Library (California), Ramaswamy explained how he intends – if elected – to carry out one of the most surprising geopolitical maneuvers of the 21st century.
In short, Ramaswamy intends to separate Russia from China and isolate not Moscow, but Beijing! To carry out this maneuver, the Republican pre-candidate intends to use what he called the "spirit of Nixonian realism" (in reference to President Richard Nixon, who governed the United States from 1969 to 1974).

Still people knows very little about him. I have seen many documentaries about him. All are much the same. People knows very little about this man. Extremely intelligent, meticulous, ambitious and motionless man who is in control of the world largest nuclear war head… Strange guy.
