Russia’s war machine is gaining speed — How can Moscow produce weapons while the West lags behind? — Q&A with defense industry reporter Kollen Post and deputy chief editor Oleksiy Sorokin (Patreon)

Dear Kyiv Independent community members,

Join us for our next Q&A, where we’ll talk about Russia’s wartime economy and its sustainability, and why the West struggles to keep up in arms production. 

Defense reporter Kollen Post and deputy chief editor Oleksiy Sorokin will answer your questions about how Russia has reconfigured its economy to fuel its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and continue pushing forward on the battlefield amid its summer offensive. They will also discuss how Ukraine can sustain its war effort, even with no new aid packages from the U.S. on the horizon. 

You can read Kollen’s most recent article, “Why can't the West match Russia's ammunition production?” and all of our war analysis coverage here. You can also subscribe to Oleksiy’s newsletter “WTF is wrong with Russia?” here.
