The Briefing Room - Ukraine: Who is winning?

The war in Ukraine is about to enter its sixth month. The cost of Russia’s invasion has been enormous: millions of refugees; thousands of dead soldiers; thousands more dead civilians; and billions of dollars’ worth of physical damage. It’s the most consequential military conflict for a generation.

This week the Briefing Room investigates what’s happening now on the ground and whether either side is close to victory or collapse. Joining David Aaronovitch are:

Nina Kuryata, Ukrainian journalist with Tortoise Media
Shashank Joshi, Defence Editor at The Economist
Samantha de Bendern, Associate Fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House
Sir Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies at King’s College, London

Producers: Tim Mansel, Kirsteen Knight and Simon Watts. Editor: Richard Vadon. Studio Manager: Neil Churchill. Production co-ordinators: Siobhan Reed & Helena Warwick-Cross
