In this episode of Ukraine This Week, we are joined by Keir Giles, Associate Fellow of the Eurasia Program at Chatham House and author of Who Will Defend Europe? Giles analyzes Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil facilities, describing them as "kinetic sanctions" aimed at cutting off funding for Russia’s war machine.
He explaines how Russia continues to sustain its military despite economic pressures by drawing on deep reserves and the support of oligarchs. Giles highlights the broader strategic battle, emphasizing that the conflict extends beyond the front lines to target economic and political vulnerabilities.
The conversation also covers Russia’s use of civilian infrastructure as a weapon, and its support of Iran, which, as Giles warns, could further challenge U.S. and allied forces. Overall, the discussion illustrates how Ukraine is leveraging military action and economic pressure to counter Russia’s long-term war strategy.
