We're joined by a resident of Odesa who has lived through the full-scale invasion since 2022. After our main episode on the war, we felt it was important to hear a Ukrainian perspective. In this conversation, we explore the psychological impact the war is having on Odesa's residents and how their resilience is evolving, particularly as Russia's naval power continues to falter.

Gunny and Tim are joined by David Brookfield, host of Letters from Ukraine, and Hop C, a former U.S. Navy member, to discuss the state of Russia's Black Sea Fleet since the full-scale invasion in 2022. The conversation highlights significant events like the capture and eventual loss of Snake Island, as well as the increasing role of unmanned surface vessels in contemporary maritime warfare.
