Episode notes
Ukraine Losing, Russia Gaining Strength
- Ukraine is losing men and materiel faster than it can replace despite forced mobilization changes.
- Russia grows in manpower and industrial capacity, refurbishing lost equipment and recruiting volunteers enthusiastically.
Russian Countermeasures Neutralize HIMARS
- HIMARS and ATACM missiles have lost effectiveness due to Russian electronic warfare countermeasures.
- Russia focuses on attrition, killing Ukrainian forces rather than capturing large territories quickly.
Russia's Non-Negotiable Territorial Demands
- Russia demands Ukraine withdraw completely from the four contested oblasts for a peace deal.
- Ukraine’s refusal to accept this means Russia intends to continue fighting until achieving full territorial control.
