In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: Can Russia still win the war in Ukraine? Mike Baker examines where the conflict stands after more than four years of fighting and what victory would actually look like for Moscow. We explore Russia’s military strengths and weaknesses, the state of Ukraine’s defenses, and how manpower, industrial production, sanctions, and Western support are shaping the battlefield. Finally, we assess the most likely paths forward, whether either side can achieve its objectives, and what intelligence analysts are watching for as the war enters its next phase.
