Not surprised in the least.
Although there are a great many people in this world who are in senior political positions or even leaders who are totally evil I consider Putin the most evil of them all.
Putin cares nothing whatsoever about his country, any other country or people of this world including his own.
He is prepared to send 100s of 1000s of his countrymen to their deaths in the Ukraine. Even let extremely dangerous criminals out of prison to fight in the Ukraine. How long will it be before he mobilises 12 year olds and 70 year olds, pushes a weapon in their hands and sends them to their deaths. He is very quickly running out of soldiers and young people. He is already sending students to the Ukraine.
Many intelligent Russians military who have been forced to fight are surrendering. Only today a helicopter Mi-8 flew to Ukraine and surrender to the Ukrainian military.
It has been said that Putin has survived about 7 attempts on his life. If this is the case those who have tried are not very good.
He obviously felt humiliated when Yevgeny Yevgeny Prigozhin became involved in a mutiny against Putin and Putin was desperate to ensure Prigozhin paid for it.
The proof that Putin cares nothing for anyone is in the fact that I hope it will be found that he ordered the planes shot down.
The problem with that is that the plane crashed on Russian soil so the reason for the crash is unlikely to ever come out.
