More than two and a half years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion, Ukraine has consistently adapted to Moscow’s advances by implementing new strategies. Critical Western supplies continue to resource Ukraine’s military. But questions linger over the quantity and sustainability of these supplies.
Kyiv will be watching the US presidential election in November as its biggest backer goes to the polls with the possibility of an outcome that could seriously affect the war. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to edge forward in Donbas, despite heavy casualties, and strike at Ukrainian towns and cities from the air, demonstrating that President Putin has no intention of relinquishing the fight.
Ambassador Zaluzhnyi discuss how the war is changing both sides, advances on the battlefield, and what dangers lie ahead for Ukraine in the coming months.
Other key questions include: What kind of enemy is Russia today and how to secure its strategic defeat in Ukraine? How have new strategies, such as the recent incursion into the Kursk region, affected the state of play on the battlefield? What technologies and armaments does Ukraine need from its Western allies in both the short and long term?
