A lot has happened in the fortnight since we last talked to Jack Watling about the war in Ukraine. Annexation referendums have taken place in Russian-occupied areas and their results have been rejected globally.
Russian reservists have been called up and Putin has again hinted at the possible use of nuclear weapons.
The attack on the Nord stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea is said to have been the biggest single methane release ever recorded.
Award winning analyst, Dr Jack Watling is our regular commentator on the military aspects of this war. Jack’s the senior research fellow for land warfare at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), the world’s oldest and the UK’s leading defence and security think tank.
