This episode, the panel assesses Ukraine’s ongoing counteroffensive and what may still be achieved in the few weeks before weather arrives that will make military maneuvers more difficult. We look at the progress made on multiple front lines, including the significance of Ukraine’s recent attack on the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Further, we examine Ukraine’s path toward reconstruction and European integration. In particular, we discuss how Kyiv is coping with emerging cracks in Western support – including the risks of the evolving political situation in Washington – and the negative impact of fierce electoral campaigning in neighboring Poland and Slovakia that includes a hardened tone toward Ukraine.
