As you’d expect, among the main areas of discussion is the likelihood of a Ukrainian spring counter-offensive being launched sometime soon.

Key Points: 
  • As you’d expect, among the main areas of discussion is the likelihood of a Ukrainian spring counter-offensive being launched sometime soon.
  • You can also subscribe to our fortnightly recap of expert analysis of the conflict in Ukraine.
  • Since neither side is backing down from its preferred outcomes from the conflict, it looks set to be a long war.
  • According to the Ukrainian government, 19,384 children have been deported to Russia since the start of the war.
  • Compounding the problem of identifying the stolen children was the fact that the regime had murdered many of their parents.

Geopolitics

    • It was difficult not to appreciate the irony of Finland’s decision to join Nato on April 4.
    • But the addition of Finland as Nato’s 31st member effectively doubles the alliance’s land border with Russia.
    • Finland’s accession also adds a country with an already robust defence policy and a well-funded military to the alliance.
    • It’s hard not to see its decision to join as something of an own goal for Putin.
