This episode, the panel looks at the recent Kursk incursion and its implications for Ukraine’s path forward – both militarily and politically. Russia has vowed revenge for the first invasion of Russian territory since the Second World War and is threatening to expand its war of aggression against Ukraine on multiple fronts. Together with our speakers, we discuss President Zelensky’s strategy after Ukraine’s surprise attack and ahead of the US presidential election this November.
