Sure.
So things have gotten really interesting in the war in Ukraine.
We at the Institute for the Study of War argue that we actually just recently entered a new phase of the war for the first time in about three years.
We think that the Ukrainians are finding ways to restore tactical mechanized maneuver to the battlefield.
That is, simply put, how to get tanks and armored vehicles back into the game.
These sports that Jonathan made that very difficult to do.
Things are not trending very well for the Russians right now.
They're still advancing, but the rate of advance has really plummeted.
This time last year, the Russians were making about 15 square kilometers per day.
As of April, they were making closer to two to three square kilometers per day.
They're taking on heavier casualties to make lesser gains.
And the Ukrainians actually are making some gains and taking more territory than they're losing for the first time in nearly three years.
There's reasons we can get into that, but those are sort of the big trends.
I interpret the Russian heavy strikes against Kyiv and other population centers essentially as one of the few limited forms of escalation within the country that Putin really has.
His forces are not able to seize their objectives by force.
Secretary Rubio simply said this the other day in the Senate.
And I think we're getting to a point here where Putin needs to keep attention on Russia's demands.
He needs to create the impression that Russia could dominate Ukraine when really that's just not happening on the battlefield.
Well, I think the Russians want to take advantage of a lot of these nascent seeds that they've planted into the minds of the international audience that's watching this war, or perhaps with less attention over the years.
But he wants to roll back on the idea that the Russians have nuclear weapons.
