## Resource

The Kremlin's treasury runneth-over with oil revenues, Moscow's military is being treated to a lesson in the latest US warfare in real time , and the world's eyes are averted from Ukraine.  Trump's war with Iran has been a boon for President Putin. And yet rumours of paranoia, deserting elites, and strange defections abound.  To decipher what exactly is going on in Moscow, Patrick and Tom are joined by Russia-watcher extraordinaire, Mark Galeotti.  Hosts: General Sir Patrick Sanders and Tom Newton Dunn Guest: Mark Galeotti Producer: Shabnam Grewal Executive producer: Fiona Leach Image: Getty Listen here to Mark's podcast, In Moscow's Shadows Hosted on Acast.
