In a special 28-minute podcast with Times Radio, I chat with Morgan Burdick about the state of Vladimir Putin’s failing war on Ukraine and what happens next.
I consider the military, political, and economic dynamics as the the war moves from Russian invasion to Ukrainian counter-offensive.
At what point — if any — will Putin agree to negotiations if Ukraine succeeds in liberating more territory in the east and south of the country?
What will be the outcome for Crimea, occupied by Russia since 2014?
Will the international community step up support of Kyiv, including the provision of airpower? Or will Russia succeed — not on the battlefield but through disinformation and propaganda — in breaking that support?
