Michael Caputo, who spent years in Russia during the Clinton administration, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has underestimated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the resistance he would face when he invaded their country.
“Putin underestimated the Ukrainians, he underestimated Zelensky, he thought Zelensky would run like most other post-Soviet Ukrainian rulers would have ... What happened when he didn’t run? Putin completely didn’t understand what to do next,” Caputo, who authored the book “The Ukraine Hoax,” told the host of NTD’s “Capitol Report.”
