For this episode of Strategic Wisdom with Andrew Jose, I sat down with Fyodor Lukyanov, editor-in-chief of Russia In Global Affairs and research professor at Moscow's Higher School of Economics (HSE University) to discuss how Putin's fifth term as President of Russia will influence the country's long-term strategy and Russia’s foreign policy.During our discussion, we looked at different questions many have regarding Putin and his new term:

• How has Putin been a transformative force in Russia's rise? What does Putin's new term mean for Russia's role in the world order?
• How is the Ukraine war likely to play out?
• What will Russia's relationship with the Middle East look like going forward?
