Ukraine Is Breaking Russia’s War Machine at Its Weakest Point

from Professor Gerdes Explains · host Professor Gerdes

Ukraine's campaign against Russian logistics appears to be entering a new phase. Overnight strikes targeted another 11 vessels in the Sea of Azov, pushed Russian shipping out of the area, damaged two major oil refineries, hit a fuel transshipment facility, and struck bridges and logistics hubs supporting the front. Rather than focusing solely on territory, Ukraine is increasingly attacking the systems that keep Russia's war machine running. We'll examine what happened, why it matters, and whether logistics has become Russia's greatest strategic vulnerability.
