Russia’s war in Ukraine – Two years on: The military response

From Sunday Morning, 8:10 am on 25 February 2024

Dr Jack Watling is senior research fellow for land warfare at the Royal United Services Institute   

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Jack has shared with us his expert analysis of the conflict both from an academic perspective and as someone who has also been to the frontline.    

He looks back at two years of brutal warfare and considers what any future opportunities for peace might look like.
