This episode gets to the central topic Dr. Yuval Weber and host Maj Ian Brown planned to cover in the last episode - the bitter fight around #Bakhmut. They discuss the factors at play in why both #Russia and #Ukraine have committed forces so deeply to the battle, and note that the lenses through which Western observers view this particular piece of the war may be very different from how the belligerents view it.
