Former U.S. Ambassador To Russia Admits: I Didn't Expect Putin To Be So Evil In Ukraine
Michael McFaul, the Obama-era U.S. ambassador to Russia, on Tuesday confessed his shock at Russian President Vladimir Putins evil in Ukraine.
I need to admit, I did not expect him to be as evil in the way he is fighting this war as he has been, McFaul told MSNBCs Nicolle Wallace.
Lets also remember. They could have cleared up Bucha. They could have hid that. They didnt do that, he said, referencing the massacre by Russian troops in the commuter town outside Ukraines capital Kyiv. They left those bodies on purpose as a way to terrorize the Ukrainian people.
McFaul, now a professor of political science at Stanford University who said he penned his first piece calling Putin an autocrat in 2000, also issued a blunt reminder about how Putins planned takeover of Ukraine has gone awry. The Russian army is now refortifying for a full-scale offensive in the east.
