Now that spring has sprung, Ukraine's long-awaited counteroffensive is predicted to be just around the corner. With Russian resources gradually depleting, additional US resources potentially on the line, and China watching with beading eyes, there is increased pressure for the Ukrainians to mount a successful attack. On this week's episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle and Iulia bring back retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, senior advisor for Human Rights First, to forecast what we can expect from the next counteroffensive. The bottom line? Whatever this counteroffensive looks like, it will ultimately need to lead to the isolation and liberation of Crimea. Gen. Hodges breaks down what a liberated Crimea might mean for Ukraine, as well as the obstacles in the way of reaching that goal.
