    Missing in action
    Michael Kofman’s assessment of Ukraine and Russian strength / gains an weaknesses/ losses was seriously deficient in its neglect of the air war. Ukrainian long range strikes frequently meet with no response — no drones , ground to air missiles, cannon fire. And their range is increasing. And Ukraine defeats 90+% of Russian drone /missile attacks , which can number 100/night. These elements augment the ground war focus, which is decidedly less positive. Your podcasts are awesome Robin

    Top notch podcast for Eurasia and Russia
    Since International Crisis Group produces such great reports it’s no surprise that their podcasts are also first rate. I focus professionally on eurasia/Russia and I find their conversations to be immensely helpful in helping me understand what’s going on in the region.

    Highly recommend
    Great, substantive content packaged in an easily accessible way especially because of the good chemistry between the two hosts.
