Rekordstort russisk tap, skumle Trump-signaler og russisk nederlag i Syria. Gjest: Anders Romarheim

I dagens episode tar vi for oss siste nytt fra frontlinjen i Ukraina. Der rykker Russland stadig fremover, men de betaler en enorm pris for hver eneste meter. Med oss i studio har vi Anders Romarheim, førsteamanuensis ved Forsvarets høgskole. Sammen sakker vi om Trumps Ukraina-politikk, og hva det betyr for krigens videre gang, samt situasjonen i Syria. I Syria har borgerkrigen for alvor blusset opp igjen, og Syrias diktator Bashar Al Assad har ikke stått så svakt på mange år. Assad-regimet er helt avhengige av støtte fra Iran og Russland, to land som har mer enn nok med andre kriger. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
