Down the Rabbit Hole on the Russia-Ukraine War #12 - Timelines and Sustainment

For a second episode in a row, "Down the Rabbit Hole on the #Russia-#Ukraine War" welcomes a special guest! Dr. Rita Konaev, a Fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology - and a #BruteCast veteran - joined Krulak Center Distinguished Fellow and #Russia subject matter expert Dr. Yuval Weber to examine two themes: timelines and sustainment. There are many competing timelines at play, from Western weapons deliveries to Russian offensive tempo, from the impact of Western sanctions on Russia to the ability of domestic politics in Europe and the United States to maintain support for a war overseas. And all of this feeds into a war that is about sustainment for Russian and Ukrainian forces, as to which army can keep its units equipped, fed, and manned - all while adapting to battlefield lessons - in the bloody and grinding combat now defining the war in the Donbas.
