Russia is Losing the Battle for Crimea - Paul Warburg



One of Ukraine's most important objectives in the war against Russia is to recapture the occupied Crimean Peninsula from Russian control. Many analysts and politicians say it isn't possible - but they miss several very important points. I talk about how Ukraine is playing the long game on Crimea, how they can take it back over time, and how in the present moment they are using Crimea to force Russia to waste limited resources and attention. I also cover the Kerch Strait Bridge (Crimean Bridge) and whether or not Ukraine will disable it soon.
