About this episode

Over the weekend, Russia bombarded Ukraine with the largest drone assault in the war thus far. It’s the latest in a relentless Russian offensive that keeps escalating, despite President Trump’s efforts to negotiate peace. Anatoly Kurmanaev, who covers Russia for The Times, discusses the economic war machine that’s driving Russia’s success on the battlefield, and making it so hard for anyone to get President Vladimir V. Putin to back down.
