President Putin really has a much bigger challenge facing him with regard to his own economy

and his own long-term economic future for Russia, which frankly dwarfs, in my judgment,

Ukraine, where he ought to be putting focus.

Hello and welcome to the G0 World podcast. This is where you'll find extended versions of my

interviews on public television. I'm Ian Bremmer, and today, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has begun.

As Putin mounts a nationwide attack from land, air, sea, and digital space, we are watching a worst-case scenario play out in real time.

It seems like a lifetime ago now, but just last weekend, I attended the Munich Security Conference

alongside world leaders who were scrambling to avoid exactly this outcome.

My conversations with them made clear that though the Ukrainian people will suffer immensely

from Putin's war of choice, this is far more than a regional conflict.

But while Russia's invasion of Ukraine is consuming the world's attention and will for some

time, my guest this week argues that Russian President Vladimir Putin faces another critical

long-term challenge to Russia's economy, one brought on by climate change. And so here

is my conversation with U.S. climate envoy, John Kerry.
