One Year of War (with Frederick W. Kagan)

Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia are joined by podcast regular, Frederick W. Kagan, senior fellow and director of AEI's Critical Threats Project, to reflect on the war one year following Russia's invasion. Kagan recounts Russia's significant losses, re-examines misconceptions about Ukrainian counter offensives, and considers when we will likely witness the next Ukrainian counter offensive. Kagan also discusses China and Iran's support for Russia, specifically how the two may support Russia's depleting defense supply chain. Finally, they all discuss "Putinism," religious extremism, racism, and the effort to dismantle NATO that has come to define the new era of Russian ultra-nationalism.

Ensuring the balance of power in Europe has, since the inception of our republic, been a core security interest for the US. Today, and for the entire post-Cold War period, the challenges to the European peace have emerged along the line running roughly from the Baltic to the Black Sea. This is what we call the Eastern Front. Our goal in this podcast is to better inform the American people about what’s going on there. Join us, Iulia Joja and Dalibor Rohac every week on in our discussions on what’s next for “The Eastern Front.”
