Many observers have been surprised by Russia’s setbacks in its invasion of Ukraine. The strength of Ukraine’s response, and of support from other nations, is one reason. But another is that the Russian military has proved much weaker than expected. What issues of materiel and personnel, methods and morale, have shaped Russian performance? What can Russia do next, and what is its military likely to try?

This program was made possible by the generosity of Ms. Eloise Briskin and sponsored by the Case Western Reserve University Center for Policy Studies.
