THE GUNS AND DRONES OF SUMMER

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with military analyst Michael Kofman about Russia’s summer offensive, Ukraine’s resilience on the battlefield, and what shifting front lines near Pokrovsk, Kostyantynivka, and Zaporizhiya mean for the next phase of the war. They also explore the growing role of drones, Russia’s aerial strikes on Ukrainian cities, and how U.S. pressure and Ukraine’s domestic politics are shaping the conflict.
