EA on ANewz: Ukraine Brings Post-Brexit UK and Europe Closer
On the eve of Russia’s Victory Day, marking triumph over Germany in World War II, I joined Times Radio’s Philip Ingram to analyze Ukraine’s denial of a “victory” for Vladimir Putin.
In the 26-minute chat, we consider how Ukraine has not only checked Russian advances on the frontlines and survived aerial attacks trying to break civilian resistance, but is now counter-attacking deep inside Russia.
We note how this has unsettled the Kremlin, prompting it to limit Saturday’s ceremonies, and put further strain on the 50 1/2-month full-scale invasion.
Part of counter-attacking against this aggressor is that you don’t necessarily carry out an attack — you just keep them uncertain.
In the wider context — the frontlines, Russia’s aerial attacks on Ukraine, Russia’s economy — while the Russians may still be wreaking hell on Ukrainian civilians, they appear to be uncertain about a way forward with their political and military aims.
Can Putin escape his predicament by convincing the Trump Administration to force Ukraine’s surrender of territory?
