Almost a year ago, Russia launched its attack against Ukraine. The war since February 24, 2022 has wreaked havoc and devastation in Ukraine - tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have perished. The geopolitical situation but also the Russian society have changed as a result of this war that President Putin has unleashed. Raimund Löw talks about this with a high-ranking expert directly in Moscow, Andrei Kolesnikov.
