Welcome to the world in 10 in an increasingly uncertain world.
This is the Times daily podcast dedicated to global security.
I'm Alex Dibble and I executive produce the podcast.
The World in 10 is partnered with Frontline, the interview series from Times radio, available on YouTube with expert analysis of the world's conflicts.
At the weekend, we bring you Frontline interviews in.
Here's one from this week.
I hope you find it interesting.
Hello and welcome to Frontline.
For Times Radio, I'm James Hanson, and today we're talking about the latest on the war in Ukraine, and I'm delighted to be joined once again by Matthew Savill, Director of Military Sciences at the Royal United Services Institute.
Matthew, always a pleasure.
Welcome back to Frontline.
To begin with, as we start 2025, just give me your assessment, if you can, of the situation we're seeing on the Frontline, both in terms of Kursk, where we've seen renewed offensive operations by Ukraine in recent days, but also in the East.
It's fair to say, I think, that the picture overall looks like a relatively straightforward continuation of the situation that we had before Christmas in the last couple of months of last year, which is that you have a Ukrainian position that is, largely speaking, defensive, and the Russians are the one that are making headway, but at incredible cost and slowly.
And that is reflective of a Russian ability to sustain pretty broad pressure because of certain advantages they have in personnel numbers and their ability to keep kind of going with their.
Their industry.
But that's, you know, that's not without significant cost.
I think it feels that the Ukrainian situation and position is pretty difficult at the end of the year and heading into this year because they've got some reasonably big underlying problems with, if you like, generating new forces and A big part of that is personnel numbers, but there is also a materiel issue for them.
Kursk is, is a bit of an outlier because what we've seen there in the past week is what looks like a relatively small operation to sort of, maybe sort of try and retake the initiative.
I, I think I, I'm with the people who are being quite cautious about jumping to any broad conclusions about that because as that has played out and more information has come out, it, it looks relatively small.
