'They have one chance at this' - is a Ukrainian counter-offensive about to begin?

from In The News

In Ukraine, Russia's invading army has been on the offensive for months - but with little to show for it. Meanwhile, Ukraine is preparing a counter-attack that must succeed if international support for its armed forces is to continue. That's why it will do so only when the perfect opportunity arises, says military strategy expert Phillips O'Brien. Phillips talks to Bernice Harrison about the state of the war today, what a Ukrainian attack could look like and the toll of stress on military leaders and decision-makers. Phillips P. O’Brien is Professor of Strategic Studies at The University of Saint Andrews. He is the author of two books about military history and is the current Editor-in-Chief of War in History magazine. He is a regular contributor to Atlantic Magazine, and he writes a Substack blog about the war in Ukraine.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
