Round Up: Where Are We Now and Where Do We Go from Here?

By Giselle Donnelly | Dalibor Rohac | Iulia Joja

August 10, 2023

On this episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia offer their take on events from the last several weeks and predict what lays ahead for Ukraine. They discuss Russia’s escalating attacks on Ukraine’s grain industry and what it suggests about President Vladimir Putin’s new offensive strategy, China’s growing stake in the conflict, how upcoming elections in Poland and Slovakia might impact the EU’s support for Ukraine, and whether this war is ultimately about preserving the status quo in Europe or creating a new balance of power.
