‘Putin is not the force he used to be’, says Defence Sec

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said Vladimir Putin’s power has been significantly damaged by his illegal war on Ukraine, describing the Russian president as a “man in a cage that he built himself”.

He said: “President Putin is not the force he used to be … Russia is a lesser country rather than a greater country as a result of him knowingly and deliberately breaking international law by invading … the reputation of this great army of Russia has been trashed."
