Episode notes
Russia's Costly Minimal Advances
- Russia gains just 0.038 sq km per soldier lost since July 2024, showing costly, minimal advances.
- This reveals the brutal attrition Russia suffers, making territorial gains extremely expensive.
Ukraine's Strategic Neutralization Plan
- Ukraine proposes a strategy based on 'strategic neutralization' rather than total victory or ceasefire.
- This aims to functionally defeat Russian forces, impairing their operations without formal war end.
Drone Kill Zones on Front Line
- Ukraine creates "kill zones" using drones to prevent Russian troop advances along parts of the 1,200 km front.
- Expanding these zones suppresses clashes by targeting enemy infantry and equipment before contact.
