Ukraine: what's the counter-offensive latest?
The start of Ukraine’s counter-offensive against occupying Russian forces was hailed as the breakthrough moment of the war so far. Now six months on, we ask what happened?
The Secretary General of NATO has said we should be ‘prepared for bad news’ and the White House has warned that the US is running out of time and money to fund the war.
In this week's Briefing Room with David Aaronovitch we find out why things haven’t progressed as hoped and how much Ukraine’s key backers still support the war.
Joining David to discuss are:
Shashank Joshi - Defence Editor at The Economist
Michael Clarke - Professor of Defence studies and Specialist Advisor to the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy
Karin Von Hippel - Director General, Royal United Services Institute
Prof. Dr. Daniela Schwarzer - Executive Board member of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, a German foreign policy think tank based in Berlin
Production: Kirsteen Knight and Alex Lewis
Production Co-ordinators: Jacqui Johnson and Sophie Hill
Sound: Neil Churchill
Editor: Richard Vadon
