What price victory? Ukraine on the front foot

from The Intelligence from The Economist

Economic support, drone capability, defence under new management: the tide may have turned for Ukraine. But domestic politics and perceptions will define what kind of win the country might hope for. We examine how Home Depot, the world’s largest DIY chain, is a window into America’s ailing housing market. And what is pinching the supply of England’s famed cricket bats. Guests and host:Oliver Carroll, Ukraine correspondentVinjeru Mkandawire, news editorAndrew Rummer, Britain contributorJason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”Topics covered: Ukraine warAmerica’s housing market, Home Depotcricket bats, supply chainsGet a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.
