About this episode
As the war in Ukraine enters its second month, it’s clear that a swift and easy victory for Russia was never a possibility.
Russian forces are now fighting Ukraine on three fronts, but have failed to capture any major cities, with battles stalled as Ukrainians resist.

Today, historian and contributor to The Saturday Paper Mark Edele on how the war in Ukraine will end.
