David Remnick: We Don’t Know How Is Putin Going To React to His Own Humiliation

‘You’re dealing with the highest stakes international politics imaginable because of the nuclear threat and because of the war itself’

EXCERPT:

REMNICK: “This is not something we can control and much we only dimly understand it. So what comes after Putin if that's what we're facing, or how Putin is going to react to his own humiliation, is something that is not within our control. What's within our control is how we played this, which is to be deeply involved, to be deeply supportive of Ukraine, and at the same time, at the same time, not have NATO troops on the territory of Ukraine. It's a very, very delicate balance. But the next moves we're going to have to see are from Moscow, most distinctly, not Washington.”
