Ukraine is preparing for a new stage of the war, changing not only its tactics but the very approach to how the military is commanded. The tandem of Mykhailo Drapatyi and Yevhen Khmara could become one of the key forces behind this transformation. Less centralization, more initiative at the local level, and faster decision-making on the battlefield — this is the model of the Ukrainian military described by the American outlet The National Interest.
At the same time, a multi-layered defense system is already being built in northern Ukraine in case of a new offensive from Belarus. Fortifications are being strengthened in the Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, as well as around Chornobyl — areas where Russian forces attempted to break through toward the capital in 2022.
Why would it be much harder for Russia to repeat the 2022 scenario? Which northern directions still remain vulnerable? And is Ukraine really developing an entirely new philosophy of warfare? Watch the full episode for the details.
