This was over a decade ago. In the turbulent political climate we have he is currently not very relevant as a policy maker. In fact some of the people who made the decision to go forward with the Crimean operation (~5 years ago) are no longer running things but I guess such internal subtelties are lost to the external observer if they perceive the Russian political system as a grey monolyth.
