Putin and the entire pattern that we can expect, somebody who's really an expert on both sides of that.

and she wrote the forward, a brand new book, Zelensky, the unlikely Ukrainian hero who defied

Putin and united the world, which is written by Andrew Urban and Chris McWalt. But Rebecca

Kofler has a terrific background. She's a Russian-born US intelligence expert. She worked with the
