Ben Hodges - Ukrainian Bravery and Russian Blunders - Putin's Endgame in a War he's Starting to Lose

Putin has ordered a partial mobilisation in Russia, as a tacit admission that Moscow's war in Ukraine is not going to plan after nearly seven months of intense and bloody fighting. Officially 300,000 reservists will be drafted to support its military campaign, and the chaotic mobilisation process has incited panic and an exodus of fighting age men from Russia – does anyone believe the Russian government will stick to the stated limits? After all, they claim only 5,397 Russian soldiers have died in the campaign so far, whereas Western and Ukrainian sources put this number closer to 60,000.

Today I’m speaking with Ben Hodges, Former Commanding General, US Army Europe from 2014-2017. Ben Hodges is now Senior Advisor at Human Rights First, and until recently was the Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies, at the Centre for European Policy Analysis, specialising in NATO, the Transatlantic relationship and international security.
