Goed stuk van Michael Kofman en Rob Lee, twee van de meest gerenommeerde Oekraïne analisten van het moment.

Western military aid has played a key role in Ukraine’s ability to preserve its independen- ce, but it is still insufficient to break Russia’s offensive potential, to recapture Russian-held territory, or even to stop Russia’s next possible offensives—in short, to end the war. Ukraine cannot rely on its own defence industry, a great part of which has been destroyed. For these reasons, it is necessary to increase both the scale and scope of Western military support for Ukraine, which should include more NATO-standard weapons than before.

This paper examines the military effectiveness of Russia’s wartime cyber operations in Ukraine, the reasons why these operations have not had greater strategic impact, and the lessons applicable to other countries’ military cyber efforts. It builds on previous analyses by taking a more systematic and detailed approach that incorporates a wider range of publicly available data.

One of the most spectacular (?!) overviews of what the hell went wrong (which is actually good!) in the Russian war in Ukraine…

Hele goede interviews met Zelensky en twee van zijn topofficieren. Geeft een goede inkijk in hun huidige strategie.
