Aim: Taking On Putin is a podcast about what makes the Master of the Kremlin do what he does: the poisonings, the killings, the wars.
Help us fund the 'Taking on Putin' podcast
This is a podcast about what makes Vladimir Putin do the things he does. President Joe Biden has said that Putin is a killer. I think Joe Biden is wrong about that. Vladimir Putin is not a killer. He's a serial killer.
I'm John Sweeney and I'm in Kyiv right now but I first saw how Vladimir Putin acts in Chechnya in 2000. Twenty-two years on, Taking On Putin is my attempt to understand what makes the Master of the Kremlin tick.
More about John Sweeney
I am an old school reporter, won a few awards, knocked around the world, and, this is a line from Top Stoppard's play, Night And Day, "I've seen people do terrible things to each other. But it's always worse in the dark. Information is light."
