For almost the past week, the behavior of Russian despot Vladimir Putin has raised international concerns.

Towards the end of February, Putin unleashed soldiers, missiles, airstrikes, and a series of other attacks against Ukraine. The Russian dictator believes Ukraine belongs to him and is therefore willing to take it, no matter how much innocent blood he has to shed in the process.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has gained international accolades for holding his ground. The world admires Zelenskyy for standing with the women and men of his country to fight back against Russia.

Zelenskyy's commitment to his nation is so great that he turned down an evacuation offer from the American government. The Ukrainian president made it clear what he needed was "more ammo," rather than a free ride to safety.

Meanwhile, multiple reports claim that Putin is seething with rage. Apparently, the Russia tyrant thought taking over Ukraine would come easily; however, this clearly is not going how Putin expected.

In light of these details and other developments, there are now rising concerns about the status of the Russian despot's mental health.

Troubling behavior from the Russian president

During the onset of his attack against Ukraine, Putin declared that anyone who interceded to help Ukraine fight off onslaughts would face "consequences" no one in history has borne witness to.

Then, over the course of this past weekend, the Russian dictator put his nation's nuclear forces on a "high alert."

Much of the world views this as an outright threat and is wondering just how far Putin intends to take things.

The Russian president has also been curiously referring to the Ukrainian president as a "Nazi" and declaring his attacks on Ukraine are about "de-nazifying" the nation.

This is odd, seeing as President Zelenskyy is Jewish; moreover, Zelenskyy's own ancestors actually fought against real Nazis in the past. There is no evidence whatsoever linking the Ukraine president to Nazism.

Former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul stated, as someone who speaks Russian and spent years in rooms with Putin, the autocratic leader is "unhinged" to increasing degrees.

More troubles ahead for Putin?

As a result of Putin's war against Ukraine, various sanctions from different nations have been hitting Russia left and right.

The Russian economy is suffering, while the nation's currency significantly loses value. Meanwhile, Putin's own people in Russia are taking to the streets in protest against what he's doing to Ukraine.

In light of what the world has seen from the Russian president, things could worsen before they improve.
