“From his days in the KGB to his ascension to power, the mission of Russian President Vladimir Putin has been to restore Russia to a global superpower by any means necessary. His record of human rights abuses, jailing and killing of political opponents, supporting dictatorships including Bashar al-Assad in Syria and invading foreign sovereign nations is clear evidence that he is a threat to Democracy. 

Vladimir Putin is a dangerous dictator with geopolitical ambitions that run counter to the preservation of democracy around the globe.”
