FZ: You know Putin well. You've met him more than any American. Do you think he’s watching what is happening in Ukraine and thinking, the West and the United States is doing this essentially as a way of surrounding Russia?

So, obviously, the largest part of this independence is Ukraine, with 50 million people, and he can't be indifferent.
The map. The map tells us so much.
