Dear Friends,
We are pleased to present the latest edition of our R.Politik Bulletin No. 11 (163).

IN FOCUS
The nature of the Russian-Uranian war has been gradually shifting. While Russia intensifies its offensive and gains more territory, Ukraine has undertaken bolder and more provocative actions, targeting Russian strategic aircraft and railway infrastructure. Both sides are escalating: Russia acts on the belief that Ukraine is militarily doomed and lacks the resources to overturn that, while Ukraine demonstrates it still holds cards in the fight against Russia, targeting it deep behind the front lines.
