290. A Diplomatic Freeze
A strange calm has fallen over diplomatic efforts in Ukraine, leaving many questioning the path forward. In this episode of Battleground Ukraine, Saul David and Patrick Bishop dissect the apparent anti-climax of recent US peace initiatives, including the much-touted Putin-Trump phone call.
They discuss if the US begun to walk away from its peacemaking role, and if so, is Europe prepared to fill the void—militarily and politically—as Russia's appetite for conflict remains undiminished?
They also look at Ukraine's strategic wins behind enemy lines, including a crucial strike on a Russian military-industrial plant and the increasing drone attacks bringing the war directly to Moscow.
