PUTIN'S ARMY has a MANPOWER PROBLEM: hunting on the STREETS and more MERCENARIES! @StarskyUA
For five consecutive months, Russia has been losing more troops than it is capable of recruiting, and reports of forced detentions on the streets could indicate a deepening mobilization crisis. Ukrainian National Guard veteran and military analyst Operator Starsky explains what is actually happening on the Russian front lines: massive casualties, logistical issues, plummeting morale, and the risk of a new wave of mobilization. Also in this episode Ukraine's new long-range weapons, a deal for 16 Gripen fighter jets, and Russia's hybrid warfare against Europe through espionage, disinformation, and political influence.
