This is a conversation with Michael Clarke, a military analyst, a visiting professor of Defence Studies at King’s College London and Defence Analyst at SkyNews - and this episode is a deep dive into all the chaotic developments happening around the war in Ukraine - and what will they mean going forward.

We talk about the United States cutting of intelligence and starlink for Ukraine - why was it taken away and why was it now restored. About the strange and sort of shady negotiations happening, why does Kremlin now says it wants Europe to be a part of it and why are European leaders starting to call Putin on their own, about whether it will lead anywhere and if it’s not exactly what Russia wants and what does the fact the United States seems to have switched sides mean for Ukraine and its military strategy.

And about who is winning the war at the moment, whether the long-range strikes, the movement on the frontline or something else is what really matters the most - and why Michael believes that the war is quickly approaching a breaking point.
