Russian Operations in Ukraine: Week 5 Update
March 29, 2022March 29, 2022 (The New Atlas) - Russian operations in Ukraine enter week 5. Despite claims Russia is stalled, frustrated, and without a plan, it appears that Russia is doing precisely in Ukraine what it successfully did in Syria from 2015 onward in the systematic taking of population centers.
I also discuss constant accusations by the West regarding “chemical weapons,” as well as a breakdown on how Russia will approach, encircle, and take population centers, just as it recently did to Mariupol.
