In the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine continues to challenge Russian forces even four years into the conflict. Meanwhile, Iran remains resistant to demands from the United States, now four months into their escalating tensions. These conflicts highlight questions about the limitations of military power and whether major powers can reassert their dominance.
The situation in Ukraine is marked by recent developments, such as an attack on a multi-story apartment building in Gorlivka, located in the Russian-controlled Donetsk region. Local officials, installed by Russia, attributed this destruction to a Ukrainian drone strike. These aggressive tactics by Ukraine are part of their larger strategy to push Russia’s grip on the region.
In a recent discussion, NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly engaged with Ukraine Correspondent Joanna Kakissis to cover an overnight attack in Kyiv, initiated by Ukraine, which follows their series of drone operations in Moscow. NPR National Security Correspondent Greg Myre added insights into the implications of these conflicts, focusing on what they reveal about military capabilities and the challenge for powerful nations to regain or maintain control.
