EA on ANewz: Ukraine — Reading Putin’s Signals
EA’s Cormac Smith joins Shaun Pinner, a former UN peacekeeper veteran of Ukraine’s resistance against Russia’s invasion, with Silicon Curtain’s Jonathan Fink to evaluate Vladimir Putin’s effort — perhaps his last — to force Ukrainian surrender this winter.
