Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia welcome Fred Kagan, Director of AEI's Critical Threats Project, back on the podcast for a military update as Russia withdraws from Northern Ukraine and news of atrocities grip the world.

Fred analyzes the military strategy of the Russian withdrawal and shows how it was done in very poor order. He also helps us understand what's happening in the east and the south of Ukraine, and in Moldova. Finally, Fred estimates how big of a threat Russia remains to Ukraine and Kyiv, and what Russia's next steps might be.
