Putin is running out of time in Ukraine - and his next move will terrify Europe

Vladimir Putin is a 'survivor', but he is running out of options.

As Ukrainian forces claw back territory, the Russian dictator faces pressure from a fragile economy, his own military establishment and his reliance on Chinese support.

In this exclusive interview, global defence expert Peter Apps breaks down the reality of what happens inside Russia if Putin is humiliated in Ukraine - and why a forced ceasefire could trigger a sudden attack on a divided NATO.

We also break down the rapid rearming of Germany and Japan, the US military's quiet retreat from Europe under the Trump administration, and the high-tech race for battlefield big data that is reshaping modern warfare forever.

Peter Apps's book 'The Next World War: The New Age of Global Conflict and the Fight to Stop it' is out now.
