At Pop the Left, @StefanBertramL and I talk #internationalSecurity and #Ukraine . Very appreciative to have a chance to get insight from someone who experienced modern war in #Syria:
The situation in Ukraine is developing rapidly. Russian forces have entered #Kherson, a regional capital between #Crimea and #Odessa. Latest word is that the city capitulated after encirclement: news18.com/amp/news/world…
Encirclement is an established tactic - the Konev maneuver by the Red Army surrounded Kraków to take it from the Nazis in WW2 - and Russia has done the same with other Ukrainian cities like #Chernihiv and #Mariupol. The idea is to avoid casualties and force eventual surrender.
