I am quite a bit behind on providing updates on the War in Ukraine so I am going to focus the next few weeks to the conflict since a lot has happened recently. Today’s update will focus on the re-capture of Snake Island, which is a morale win for Ukraine, if not a strategic one….
Last week, what the media calls “Phase Two” of the War in Ukraine began. This represents the moment when the Russian offensive switched from a full encirclement of Ukraine into an offensive from the East and represents a complete shift in strategy.
