With the war heading into a sixth month, where will the conflict go next? How are both sides doing when it comes to ammunition? Is NATO really united in its objectives? And how Russia's rhetoric playing out in the Global South?
Dr Jack Watling, a senior research fellow at RUSI, joins Arthur Snell for the second of two war bulletins to look at the future direction of the conflict. 
We're putting out irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine crisis. You can support our work on the crowdfunding app Patreon: doomsdaywatch.co.uk

 “The Russians have plenty of unguided ammunition and they can manufacture more of it.”

 “Western sanctions will hamper Russia’s ability to manufacture certain weaponry.”

 “If I was watching this as China, thinking about Taiwan, I would be saying NATO lacks legs.”

 “What we’ve seen in Ukraine is how dangerous it is when the credibility of your deterrence fails.”

 “Just running the Ukrainian government is going to cost the EU and US a lot of money over the coming months.”

 “We can’t get too excited about Russian diplomacy.”


DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold. Theme tune and original music by Paul Hartnoll. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. DOOMSDAY WATCH is a Podmasters production
