Dear Kyiv Independent community members,

For the past months, the world’s attention has been turned to Ukraine’s anticipated counteroffensive – with many experts predicting that the degree of success of this operation will determine the course of the war. Without a decisive Ukraine victory, the war may turn into a stalemate, allowing Russia a chance to regroup troops.

On Thursday, June 22, Kyiv Independent reporters Illia Ponomarenko and Francis Farrell will join prominent military analyst Michael Kofman to discuss the next stage of Russia’s war. Kyiv Independent editor-in-chief Olga Rudenko will moderate the panel discussion.

You can register for the event here. Once registered, you will immediately be sent the webinar information and automatically sent a reminder one hour before the event.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

As Ukraine looks forward, I keep returning to the big questions: 1. How strong are the government and civil institutions which will provide stability and a foundation for growth? 2. How strong is the support of the population for reforming and strengthening these institutions? 3. Is the population confident that the reforms necessary to strengthen the state are possible? Or is there a sense of resignation that corruption is so ingrained that nothing will improve? A niche interest for me is, How is the infrastructure for travel and trade between Ukraine and the European Union progressing? How is the shift from Russian to European rail standards progressing? Is the efficiency of truck and car traffic across border crossing improving? Is the corruption in customs and border patrol improving? Finally, How is foreign language education evolving in education? Is there a shift in emphasis toward Western languages from Russian at all levels of education?

My dad would like to know how it is possible that all these weapons (new tanks, etc) can get to the front without being targeted by the Russians. How do the Ukrainians keep these weapons save? And how much do the Russians know of troop movements within Ukraine? Many thanks :)
