Great! Thanks, Brooke.
The current report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lists 350K Russian soldiers killed, nearly 6000 tanks and 11,000 armored combat vehicles destroyed and other huge Russian losses. Even with Russian mobilization how is it that their are enough Russian trained troops and equipment left to fight so strongly against Ukraine?
Hi Ed, Thank you for your question – since this podcast episode has already aired, I will add this question to the Q&A with Francis about the war, if that sounds good to you. :) Best, Brooke, Kyiv Independent community manager
So I guess really not important as it wasn’t even mentioned in the entire episode?? Zelenskiy talks about it however…?
Hi Brian, thank you for your question, and sorry for the delayed response here. It's not always possible for everything to be addressed in each podcast episode, but I will pass along to the team that there's interest in this topic! Thank you again! Brooke, Kyiv Independent community manager
My question is: How significant do you think it was that Ukraine damaged and displaced Russia's Black Sea fleet from Sevastapol in 2023 and re-opened the grain corridor? My impression is that this event was underplayed in its importance in the general media. Would appreciate your views.
