371. Assassinations, Attrition, and the Telegram Crackdown

from Battleground

In our weekly round up of the latest news from Ukraine, Roger Moorhouse and Patrick Bishop examine a week of "salient moments" that may signal a turning point in the war. They discuss the Kremlin’s risky move to throttle Telegram, the deepening recession across 21 sectors of the Russian economy, and the high-profile assassination attempt on Lieutenant-general Vladimir Alexeyev. The duo also breaks down the latest friction in the Abu Dhabi peace talks and the mounting pressure on President Zelensky to hold wartime elections.If you have any thoughts or questions, you can send them to - [email protected]: James HodgsonX (Twitter): @PodBattleground Learn more about your ad choices.
