"Drawing on more than 100 interviews with senior intelligence officials and
other insiders in multiple countries, this exclusive account details how the US
and Britain uncovered Vladimir Putin’s plans to invade, and why most of Europe
– including the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy – dismissed them. As
the fourth anniversary of the invasion approaches and the world enters a new
period of geopolitical uncertainty, Europe’s politicians and spy services
continue to draw lessons from the failures of 2022"
