Russia-Ukraine War Report for September 6, 2023 - US Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges and War Correspondent Phil Ittner

The Russia-Ukraine War Report provides comprehensive, fact-based news coverage about the war in Ukraine. Our team of journalists, researchers, and analysts are from Georgia, Israel, Finland, Poland, Ukraine, the U.S., and the U.K. We go beyond content aggregation and provide analysis and assessments on how today's stories shape the war's future. Today's episode passes the baton from our Chief Content Officer, David Obelcz, to our new co-host and executive producer, Zarina Zabrisky. David and Zarina discuss her background, her work covering Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, her vision for the podcast, and her experiences of being a credentialed war correspondent since April 2022 The regular six-day-a-week summary on and off the battlefield is coming back, with David and Zarina discussing the future. Zarina and retired United States Lieutenant General Ben Hodges discuss the ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive, how there is more than a kinetic war going on, what the media is getting wrong, and how Kyiv is balancing operational security and transparency. Zarina and war correspondent Phil Ittner, who has been a conflict reporter with CBS and Voice of America with more than 30 years of experience, discuss how many large news organizations are covering the war and what is being missed.
