Anders Puck Nielsen - Violence is being Privatised by Mercenary Groups as the Ruling Elite Fragments

Russia is paying a huge price in terms of blood and resource for every inch of Ukrainian territory it tries to seize. The capture of Soledar, a small town of little strategic importance that is claimed to have taken over the weekend underscores this – as it likely cost many thousands of Russian lives. But a war of attrition and stalemate on the frontline is the last thing Ukraine needs. Will a defeat of its forces in 2023 finally bring an end to Russia’s genocidal war against its neighbour, or will the drip feed of Western weapons and support undermine Ukraine as we go into the spring?

Today I’m speaking with Anders Puck Nielsen, influential YouTuber, and military analyst, based in Denmark. He specialises in naval warfare and strategy, but in today’s video we are going to be talking much more about the ground campaign in Ukraine.
