Vladimir Putin's aggressive diplomacy with Ukraine is merely an attempt to divert from the mismanagement of the epidemic and the consequences of the Navalny case. This short-term calculation, which has given Moscow the disadmission of its own population, gives rise to distrust among European governments, as well as in the new US administration. ; International audience ; Vladimir Putin's aggressive diplomacy with Ukraine is merely an attempt to divert from the mismanagement of the epidemic and the consequences of the Navalny case.
