Maxwell Professor Gives Expert Opinion On Putin’s Partial Mobilization of Russia

Sean McFate, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and an adjunct professor at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, was interviewed by Newsweek for the story “‘Act of Desperation’: Putin’s Partial Mobilization of Russia Could Be His Undoing.” The article questions the effect Russia President Vladimir Putin’s partial mobilization, the first since World War II, will have on the country’s fighting power in the war against Ukraine. McFate says, “This may ignite a political backlash that might be an ultimate political undoing.”
