Today, I spoke with Dr Mike Martin and John Spencer who joined me for an update on the situation in Ukraine.

This conversation was recorded just after 9pm on the evening of 22nd of September, Ukraine time.

Some of the topics we covered are:

Impact of recent Russian battlefield losses
Significance of Putin’s ‘partial mobilisation’ and what it might mean
Attrition vs. Manoeuvre warfare
Possible next moves by Ukraine
The narrative surrounding the ‘referendums’ and their possible purpose
Thoughts on the ongoing weapons debate, such as about ATACMS
The risk of a collapsed Russia
Predictions for upcoming weeks and months
