Ukraine tries to hold off Russian gains on a stalemated front in the east amid manpower and artillery shortages. A defiant Ukraine continues to strike at energy infrastructure inside Russia despite U.S. objections. And a waiting game continues as a vital $60 billion in U.S. defense assistance to address Ukraine’s vital needs finally appears to be moving in the House of Representatives.
What are Ukraine’s main vulnerabilities after twenty-six months of war and how are they being addressed? On the latest episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks to military analyst Michael Kofman to break down the state of the conflict and what we can expect this year and beyond.
