While transatlantic partners remain supportive of Ukraine, there are questions about the success of the much-anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Michael Kofman joins Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend to discuss all of this and more.

Michael Kofman is the Research Program Director of the Russia Studies Program at the Center for Naval Analyses and an adjunct fellow at the Center for a New American Security.
