One Month of War in Ukraine

Steve talks with Taras Byk, a political consultant now working with the Territorial Defense Forces in Kyiv, to get a sense of what’s happening on the ground in Ukraine. What’s changed since the last time they talked? Steve then has a conversation with Tom Karako, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Why has Russia not been able to establish air superiority? What do we need to know about those hypersonic missiles that Russia launched? Tom has those answers and more.   Show Notes: -The Dispatch: “Just How Many Russian Soldiers Have Died in Ukraine?” -French Press: “Questions and Answers After One Month of War” -New York Times: “How Ukraine’s Outgunned Air Force Is Fighting Back Against Russian Jets” -CSIS report: “Complex Air Defense: Countering the Hypersonic Missile Threat” -Bayraktar song Learn more about your ad choices.
