  • Missing in action

    Michael Kofman’s assessment of Ukraine and Russian strength / gains an weaknesses/ losses was seriously deficient in its neglect of the air war. Ukrainian long range strikes frequently meet with no response — no drones , ground to air missiles, cannon fire. And their range is increasing. And Ukraine defeats 90+% of Russian drone /missile attacks , which can number 100/night. These elements augment the ground war focus, which is decidedly less positive.

    Your podcasts are awesome

The mood in Ukraine is resilient despite the ongoing challenges, including severe energy cuts and increasing casualties from attacks, particularly among civilians.
Down, But Not Out? Russia’s Shifting Role in a Turbulent Middle East
