Putin's Not So Grand Strategy

Putin is Winging it on Ukraine (David Ignatius) from the Washington Post 
"Putin’s actions are most likely a study in ad hoc policymaking rather than a precise strategy. He has been cunning and forceful but also wary of taking steps that could damage Russia, such as a military invasion of Ukraine or open destabilization of its planned election. He’s “winging it,” to put it in vernacular terms, trying to get the best advantage for Russia at the lowest cost."
