PREVIEW HEADLINE: Putin Faces Deep Disappointment Over War Failures; Escalation Threatened if NATO Shoots Down Russian Aircraft GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft 50-WORD SUMMARY: Anatol Lieven discusses the deep disappointment and worry in Russia over the badly run war, with mistakes traced back to Putin. Lieven states that while Putin does not want to escalate, he has no maneuvering room and would be forced to respond with military force, potentially spiraling toward war, if the West escalates by seizing Russian cargos or if NATO were to shoot down Russian aircraft. 1900 RUSSIA
