Marie Yovanovitch says that while she was serving as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2016 to 2019 she did not believe that Vladimir Putin wanted to take over Ukraine and wage the scale of invasion that is unfolding in Ukraine right now. "I thought he wanted to destabilize Ukraine, so that it would not be a reliable partner for the West," Yovanovitch said on "Salon Talks." "Even in February, I did not think that he was gonna try to take the whole country." Yovanovitch shares more about the relationship between Putin and Ukraine in her full "Salon Talks" interview and discusses her memoir "Lessons From The Edge": https://www.salon.com/tv/video/mwjzo2
