A tale of two soldiers: Can Ukraine actually win?

Frontline fighters on the Russian threat and the prospects for peace…

Victoria and James are joined by Yaryna, who’s been serving in Ukraine’s armed forces since 2020, and a recent recruit who goes by the call-sign ‘Logan’.

They discuss the current situation on the battle field, whether a new mobilisation law is enough and the prospect of Ukraine failing to win this war.
