'Leave aside the wickedness of it, the miscalculation strategically and in every possible way has been enormous,' Blair said of the war in Ukraine.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Sunday that Putin is"detached from reality" amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.. Host Fareed Zakaria played footage of Putin shaking hands with Blair during a trip to London in April 2000, in what marked the Russian president's first visit to the West after he was elected.
"The first Putin I met was Western-facing, anxious to have a good relationship with the West...Then I think he found the challenges of reform and change in Russia too great and he decided to consolidate power in a more autocratic way and then become a Russian nationalist," Blair said.
