Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an update on the Ukraine war frontlines for April 19, 2023. He starts by discussing a preamble from the Institute for the Study of War about the "Club of Angry Patriots" in Russia who are advocating for a revolution if the Kremlin freezes the war or pursues peace negotiations. There are factions emerging within Russia vying for power and predicting potential outcomes of the war.
