Episode Details

Russia’s problems are no longer confined to the battlefield. Its advances are slowing, its losses are mounting, Ukraine’s long-range reach is expanding deep into Russian territory, recruiters are pressuring ordinary Russians, naval celebrations are being canceled over security fears, Russian shadow-fleet activity is threatening NATO airspace, and countries like Armenia are moving further from Moscow. Putin started this war to expand Russian power, but the consequences are now spreading through Russia’s military, economy, society, alliances, and global position.
