Daily Briefing: IS UKRAINE’S KHARKIV OFFENSIVE THE GAME CHANGER?

“Today, when we look up, we are looking for only one thing — the flag of Ukraine.” – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky


Podcast:  Ukraine’s Kharkhiv Operation and the Russian Military’s Black Week War on the Rocks, Sept. 12, 2022 On a foggy morning in August 1918, Allied forces commenced the Battle of Amiens and the Hundred Days Offensive that ended the Great War.

Whether this heralds the last phase of this war is still unknown. Regardless, recent events have been a massive setback for Russia. We had Mike Kofman on the show to discuss.
