About this episode
Nearly four months into the Ukraine-Russia war, where is the conflict at? After limited early progress, is Russia now beginning to gain ground, or are both sides grinding to a halt? And in the longer term, can the West sustain both the supply of arms to Ukraine, and it's unity? Defence Editor for the Economist Shashank Joshi joins Arthur Snell for an update on where the war is headed.

“As we speak, Russia is making some substantial tactical successes, but this isn’t everything.”
“We are running low of some of the weaponry that we’re giving Ukraine.”
“I’ve been trying to answer the question if the Russian army is bad, or if it’s a good army that’s been given bad orders?”
“If Russia occupies the Donbas, it won’t sign a document and stop there.”
“You don’t require a Trump victory in 2024 to dissolve the Western coalition.”
