Hello everyone,
Welcome to my Eyes on Eurasia with Glen Howard podcast. Quite a lot has been happening on the diplomatic front in the Russia-Ukraine war in the past month as ceasefire talks evolve among the United States, Russia, and Ukraine. Last Sunday President Putin announced a 30-hour Easter ceasefire but that pledge failed to last as the war continues and talks on ending the war remain elusive.
Given all the recent discussions about the political side of events of the war, I wanted to turn to the military dimension of the conflict and assess what has been happening inside the Ukrainian military after three years of war. More importantly, I want to also discuss what potential military lessons there are for the West as Ukraine successfully fights the Russian army to a stalemate on the battlefield.
Helping us to understand the military challenges pressing Ukraine today is retired British Army Colonel Glen Grant. Colonel Grant is a frequest travetler to Ukraine and he will discuss recent military developments inside the Ukrainian military and share some of the key lessons learned from the war for the United States and its NATO-allies.
Enjoy the podcast!
