As Ukraine's military continues to reclaim swathes of land from
Russia, could this past week be a watershed moment in the war? How
did Kyiv's forces manage it? And if Putin does lose the war, what
will instability in the Kremlin mean for the rest of Europe? Mike
Martin, author and War Studies fellow at King's College London,
joins Arthur Snell for our latest war update. We're putting out
irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine
crisis. You can support our work on the crowdfunding app Patreon:

“The Ukrainians are really good at misdirecting the Russians.”
“Armies tend to mirror their country’s culture. Russia has a very
hierarchical army.” “Russia’s army is conscripted, which means
lowly skilled and lowly motivated recruits.” “If I was the
Ukrainian enemy I wouldn’t go anywhere near the Donbas.” “In this
process of the transfer of power in Russia, what happens to nuclear
weapons? There are five thousand of them.” “If Ukraine can get down
to the Black Sea coast, that is potentially war-ending.” DOOMSDAY
