Updates on fighting in Ukraine; US military aid to Ukraine (with Mason Clark)

Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia welcome Mason Clark, Lead Russia Analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, to discuss updates and new developments on Ukraine’s ongoing defense against Russia in the last week. Mason discussed how Ukrainian forces have been in an overall good position in holding back Russian forces around Kyiv and northeastern Ukraine, as well as in retaining the ability to launch localized counter attacks. They also provide an assessment of Biden’s new announcement of $800 million in new security assistance to Ukraine, how likely it is to make a difference, and what else is needed to help.
