Summary

As Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues, there's been a lot of speculation about what Vladimir Putin will do next and how far he's willing to go to achieve victory. The mysterious Russian President has been an enigma for decades and few in the West understand how he thinks. Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony spoke to Former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Rebekah Koffler, who has done extensive research on the leader. Koffler, who was born in the Soviet Union and is featured in the new FOX Nation special, Who is Vladimir Putin?, discusses Putin's background and what drives him. She also speculates about the motives behind Putin's invasion, what could trigger a wider war, and how this conflict could potentially end. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversations with Former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Rebekah Koffler and get the chance to learn even more about Putin and Russia.
