Updates on the war in Ukraine, the info-war, partitioning of Ukraine, part 1 with Mark Sleboda

“On the Barricades” s06e26

Lately the western media has been trying to press upon the public opinion that victory for Ukraine is around the corner, that Bakhmut is about to fall. Meanwhile Zelensky reinforces his failure. What is really around the corner and where is the war headed– there and globally?

To assess the latest on what is actually going on in the war in Ukraine– on the ground, in the information wars, and with respect to international ramifications– “On the Barricades” has the pleasure of bringing back Mark Sleboda onto the show for a special mid-week, two-part release. Mark is a former US Navy specialist, military expert, and academic who attended the London School of Economics before becoming a senior lecturer at Moscow State University.

1:00 What’s happening on the ground, around Bakhmut?
10:48 Updates on the info war front
13:15 Western Europe and US relations, global economic reconfigurations
30:03 The way out of the war, partitioning Ukraine
