EA-War and Politics 24 VideoCast: The Kremlin’s Window to “Break” Ukraine
In a 25-minute analysis, I join Times Radio’s Louis Sykes to examine Russia’s wobbles over its 4-year full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
For the launch of the Frontline channel, I examine Russia’s failure to break the Ukrainians despite intense energy and missile strikes on energy infrastructure.
I consider Moscow’s slow rate of advance on the ground, as it faces tightening economic constraints on the invasion as well as Ukraine’s counter-attacks inside Russia.
I look at the latest attempted assassination of a Russian general, critically wounding deputy head of military intelligence Vladimir Alekseyev last Friday.
And Russia is even fretting that it cannot get US support for a Ukrainian surrender — no wonder Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was in such a bad mood on Monday as he chided the Trump Administration.
