Ukraine's «Hollywood» Counter-Attack: Elite Forces fly into Pokrovsk by Helicopter. W/Francis Farrell

In this gripping episode, we're joined by Francis Farrell, an acclaimed journalist from The Kyiv Independent. He provides an urgent and unvarnished look at the rapidly deteriorating situation in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, detailing the large-scale Russian infiltration tactics that have compromised Ukrainian defenses and severed critical logistics routes. Farrell draws critical parallels to past battles like Bakhmut and Avdiivka, examining the patterns of delayed withdrawals and the challenges within Ukrainian military command.

We explore the harrowing reality for the hundreds of civilians still trapped in Pokrovsk, discussing their complex reasons for staying and the ethical dilemmas presented by the presence of pro-Russian sympathizers. The conversation also tackles the strategic impact of Western military aid, such as potential Tomahawk missile deliveries, arguing that while powerful, these are not 'wonder weapons' that will instantly alter the war's fundamental dynamics. Instead, Farrell emphasizes the ongoing 'numbers game' and Ukraine's chronic manpower crisis.

Finally, we delve into the looming threat of winter, particularly concerning energy infrastructure and heating, and touch upon the evolving situations in Kupyansk and other critical frontlines. This episode offers a crucial, on-the-ground perspective on the war's toughest challenges.

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

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.
