In a recent statement, Putin asserted that "Ukrainian statehood may suffer an irreparable, very serious blow" if the current battlefield situation persists. Panelists delved into the military balance on the ground, analyzing the nuanced interplay of air, land, and sea power. The situation on the frontlines and the intricacies of the Ukrainian offensive were highlighted, along with a critical assessment of the strategic significance of the Black Sea and Crimea. Moreover, our panel scrutinized transatlantic support for Ukraine and explore the impact of unconventional supply sources, including North Korea and Iran, on Russia's future war capabilities. The potential implications of these supplies on the war's trajectory was a central focus, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play in the ongoing war. #LSERussiaUkraine
