ON SEPTEMBER 21, HOURS AFTER RUSSIAN PRESI-dent Vladimir Putin ushered in a new phase to the ongoing war in Ukraine with a partial nationwide military mobilization, his longtime top diplomat, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, spoke with Newsweek senior foreign policy writer Tom O’Connor about the state of the conflict and its implications for Moscow’s relationships with the international community, including other leading powers, the United States and China.

He quickly built a client book that included a smattering of NBA players and other celebrities who discovered videos of his cuts on Instagram. His posts @wheathead_, displaying precocious skill and creativity, sometimes earned millions of views. Since the heady first days of his launch, however, the business has taken a turn, as soaring inflation prompted clients facing higher prices for food and gas to cut back on less…
