It will be more than two years this week since the start of the Ukraine war. Since the war started Russian President Vladimir Putin has been in relative isolation. He has travelled to very few countries and his public appearances have been very selective. But that has changed in the last few months. From a marathon year end call and press conference to a very public and high-profile interview to American TV host Tucker Carlson, Putin has been on a publicity overdrive. But the question is why? And why now? On Crux Decode, we will analyse the Russian President who was seen as reclusive, not preferring to the leave the confines of the Kremlin and his closest advisors has suddenly shifted into a publicity flurry? And how this drive helps strengthen his image, both at home and abroad. #putin #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #tuckercarlson #biden #trump #kremlin #ukraine #zelensky #avdiivka #worldnews #decoded n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 0:35 WHY IS PUTIN COMING OUT OF HIS RELATIVE SECLUSION? 2:38 DEATH OF ALEXEI NAVALNY 4:09 HOW WILL NAVALNY’S DEATH HELP PUTIN? 5:07 WHAT’S BEHIND PUTIN’S PUBLIC APPEARANCES? 7:22 WILL NAVALNY’S DEATH BECOME A RALLYING POINT IN RUSSIA?
