‼Putin is most afraid of losing Crimea, - the US ambassador to the Russian Federation

🇺🇸 Former US Ambassador Michael McFaul, who was in Russia from 2011 to 2014, believes that Russian President Putin is most afraid of losing Crimea.

💬 "He is afraid of the transfer of the war to Crimea. This is what he fears the most, because it would undermine the legitimacy of his war in the Russian Federation. Minister Lavrov's visit to the BRICS summit instead of Putin shows the latter's fear of appearing before the International Criminal Court in case of arrest. Before us is not a brave man who challenges the West, but a coward who fears the West."
