How Putin Misjudged His Adversary

David Ignatius: “Like so many leaders through history, Russian President Vladimir Putin is discovering that he badly misjudged his adversary and squandered some of his advantages.”

“A first signal that Putin may be revising his timetable came Thursday, with Russian and Ukrainian negotiators agreeing on ‘humanitarian corridors’ to allow the evacuation of civilians from threatened cities. This pause may just be a prelude to a renewed Russian onslaught, but it shows that Russian hopes of a quick, easy victory were misplaced. One week into the war, Ukraine has the moral and psychological edge.”
