The Russo-Ukraine War is the bloodiest, most extensive and most dangerous war of our time. It has now been fourteen months since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and five months since Richard Iron’s last strategic analysis of the war. There is absolutely no certainty of how this war will evolve over the coming months nor how, eventually, it might end. Richard Iron will explore the military, political and economic factors that could influence developments both on the ground and in the political arena. He will examine what each side wants to achieve and the likelihood of them achieving it. He will look particularly at the state of Russian internal politics, assess the true level of support in Russia for the war and the possibility of regime collapse. Can either side achieve their military goals? How important is Western support for Ukraine and can Ukraine rely on it? How secure is the Putin regime and what may follow it? If his regime does collapse, what might that look like?

The hard evidence is found in Russia’s state media coverage in the lead up to the referendum, I don’t think anyone has unearthed any documents discussing *why* Russian state media was pushing a pro-Brexit line, but it should be uncontroversial to state that they clearly did.

BREAKING: Kremlin Critic Natalia Arno Says She Experienced Poisoning Symptoms After Travelling to Berlin; Report Says Former US Ambassador John Herbst Also Fell Ill From a Similar Poison
This is exactly what Putin is betting on. He’s thinking that even if he sustains massive casualties and loss of invaded territory, if he can just hold out until November 2024, Trump could offer him a lifeline that will allow him to win the war

As a Norwegian I’m fully for Norway sending all of our 57 retired F-16 jets to Ukraine. The jets are in perfect condition and are ready to be used. They do nobody any good by just sitting in hangars in Norwa
