Related: About this forumPutin's Road to War: Journalist Julia Ioffe (interview) - FRONTLINE
In an interview for the upcoming FRONTLINE documentary Putins Road to War, journalist Julia Ioffe discusses Vladimir Putins invasion of Ukraine and why she believes the Russian leader is now more dangerous than hes ever been at any point in the last 22 years.
What he has opened up with this invasion is unthinkable, Ioffe tells FRONTLINE. And because he is losing and because the sanctions and the Ukrainians are humiliating him, because he is backed into a corner, he is the most dangerous he has ever been, because it is now existential for him.
Julia Ioffe is an American journalist who was born in Russia. She is a writer for and founding partner of the media company Puck. She previously reported on politics and world affairs for The Atlantic.
This interview was conducted by FRONTLINEs Mike Wiser on March 3, 2022. It has been edited for clarity and length.
Putins Road to War premieres March 15, 2022. Watch the trailer now:
