Russia insists it's winning—but the facts tell a different story. Its military is stuck in chaos, facing huge losses with zero strategic progress. Even if the war stretches on, evidence shows Russia is heading toward a defeat it won't recover from. Here's why.
Chuck Pfarrer, a seasoned military analyst and Kyiv Post Special Correspondent, offers a critical assessment of this pivotal moment in the conflict through his conversation with colleague Jason Smart, a political scientist specializing in Russia. Drawing from extensive experience advising U.S. national security agencies, Pfarrer sharply analyzes Russia’s weakening strategic position and highlights key military developments.
A former U.S. Navy officer, Pfarrer has served as a military and counterterrorism contractor, contributed opinion articles to The New York Times, and provided expert analysis for CNN, ABC, MSNBC, Fox, CSPAN, and NPR. His deep expertise in gray zone warfare and counter-WMD operations positions him as a foremost authority on the Ukraine conflict.
