UC Berkeley associate professor of history and international policy Daniel Sargent specializes in foreign policy going back to the Cold War with Russia. He says Putin is becoming isolated and facing more opposition from Ukrainians and the NATO countries than he perhaps expected.
"As he becomes more and more desperate, what he's doing is escalating the intensity of the ground war. We've seen Putin over the past 48 hours deploy weapons like cluster bombs, which he had previously resisted deploying. So I think that's confirmation that the war is not going so well for Putin as he hoped that it might. But what's troubling is that we don't know the lengths to which Vladimir Putin might be willing to go," said Sargent.
Senior Pentagon officials say Russian forces are running out of supplies such as food and fuel as the battle drags on. President Biden warned Americans that there could be an impact on gas prices, saying he was releasing 30 million barrels of oil from U.S. reserves to offset any supply problems from the Ukraine war.
