Journalist, historian, and author Anne Applebaum on the world Putin wants to live in:

"Putin imagines that he'll have a big role, especially if he can conquer Ukraine and take Ukraine's resources.

He talks about the multipolar world that he wants to live in. But he means a world in which might makes right, and in which strong countries can invade weaker ones, and big countries can dominate smaller ones, and that this is the world he would like to inhabit - not one where these rules and the UN and the US and other things stand in his way.

So these are his goals. Personal, political, but also global."
