The Ukraine War Is About to Enter a Dangerous New Phase

NATO is making one bet and Russia another.

Russian forces in eastern Ukraine are regrouping, with a new offensive expected, but they continue to rain death and destruction on cities and towns.

The national security adviser said the U.S. believed Iran was preparing to train Russian troops imminently.

The Kremlin’s explanations have sometimes satisfied the Russian people, but they fall apart under closer scrutiny abroad.

Leery of a national draft for the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is offering cash bonuses and employing strong arm tactics.
