In this episode of The PDB Situation Report: Ukraine is tightening the noose around Crimea while Russian civilians grapple with growing fuel shortages at home. Retired Lt. General Ben Hodges joins us to explain what this new phase of the war could mean—and whether mounting pressure inside Russia is beginning to change the strategic picture.

Behnam Ben Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies joins us to break down where negotiations stand, what’s still dividing both sides, and what comes next.
