Petraeus: Taking Ukraine Is One Thing, Holding Onto It Is Another | GZERO World

At the first in-person Munich Security Conference in two years, world leaders gathered amidst the greatest threat to European peace since World War II. As over 150,000 Russian troops surrounded Ukraine's border, poised to invade, Ian Bremmer sat down with former CIA Director and retired four star general David Petraeus for an upcoming episode of GZERO World.

And as he tells Ian Bremmer, invading a country is one thing. Holding onto it is quite another.
