‘It’s cold, miserable, ammunition is running low, food is gone: so Ukrainians will either surrender or die’ – Stanislav Krapivnik

‘It’s cold, miserable, ammunition is running low, food is gone: so Ukrainians will either surrender or die’ – former U.S. Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik.

This isn’t just a bleak prediction; it captures the reality for some Ukrainian troops on the frontlines, according to military expert Stanislav Krapivnik, the guest on the ‘Sanchez Effect.’ He explains that Ukrainians often find themselves in tight spots – getting surrounded because of not having taken the needed action in time.
However, the Russians haven't sealed the trap completely, leaving a small escape route open. It’s a psychological game, tempting soldiers with a glimmer of hope. Many will take that chance to flee or surrender, while those fully encircled have only one option left: fight until the end.

Rick and Stanislav dissect the frontline maps, revealing the unfolding situation, as Rick discusses why more European leaders are distancing themselves from Ukraine — even Poland seems to be joining in. Curious to find out what the deal is?
