Conversation with George Barros, Iuliia Osmolovska & ex-British Army officer Nicholas Drummond
Ukraine’s war is shifting fast—US support’s vanishing, Russia’s tank losses are staggering, and Europe’s resolve is wobbling.
In this episode of Facing Coming Storms, we unpack it all with George Barros (Institute for Study of War), Iuliia Osmolovska (Globsec Kyiv), and ex-British Army officer Nicholas Drummond.
We explore Kyiv’s gritty fight, America’s exit shockwave, and Europe’s do-or-die moment. Peacekeepers? NATO rearming? Nuclear sharing? The stakes are sky-high. Is this Europe’s wake-up call—or Russia’s chance to dominate?
