Ukraine Russia War Talk
Episode 8: Command Crisis, the state of the war, Americans telling Ukraine what to do
Hello All, Mykola and Phillips are back with a discussion ranging around the most important stories in the Russo-Ukraine War over the last two weeks. We start with a detailed discussion of the political crisis over the command of Ukrainian forces which seems to be happening between President Zelensky and General Zaluzhny. Whatever happens, it would be good if this were resolved soon.
Then we survey that different fronts, looking at Ukraine's continuing success against the Russian Black Sea Fleet and Russian forces in Crimea. The land war, however, remains relatively stable, though Ukraine seems to be running short of ammunition with the US suspending aid.
Finally, turning to the US we discuss the strange situation where different American sources like to tell Ukraine what to do (when the Ukrainians already know)--and all the while the US has stopped giving aid.
