Russia yet to achieve breakthrough in Ukraine, expert says

The Kyiv Independent’s Francis Farrell sits down with Rob Lee, a military expert and senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, to assess the state of Russia’s war in Ukraine three and a half years into the full-scale invasion.
