Andrei Martyanov with Prof. Glenn Diesen

I spoke with Andrei Martyanov, a military expert and author, about the developments on the battlefield in Ukraine. Martyanov argues that Russia has won the war of attrition, and the situation goes from bad to worse for Ukraine and NATO. Martyanov discusses how the technological and tactical landscape has changed over the past three years. Martyanov is not optimistic about the possibility of a diplomatic settlement and believes Ukraine and NATO are heading toward a military defeat. Russia may consequently annex more territories, including Odessa. As the frontlines continue to collapse, the causality levels intensify. From a humanitarian and strategic (post-war stability) perspective, it should be a priority to find a political settlement.
