Exclusive interview with Sir Lawrence Freedman on Ukraine and Russia's strategy in 2024 May 27, 2024

Show notes

Day 817.

Today is a bank holiday in the United Kingdom, so we pre-recorded an interview with one of our most requested guests: Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman of the department of War Studies at King's College London.

A world-renowned expert on international history and strategic theory, he is a well-known commentator on security issues, and the author of many books, including most recently: ‘Command: The Politics of Military Operations from Korea to Ukraine.’

David Knowles sat down with him to discuss which country has the strategic initiative in the war, the ways the battlefront is likely to evolve over the coming months, and what experts have got right, and wrong, about the way the war has progressed.
