Patrick Henningsen & Lt Col Danniel Davis | Russia's Taken Luhansk Region/50k Troops Surround Sumy | July 1, 2025

Description:
The discussion focuses on the stark contrast between optimistic public statements from Ukrainian leadership—especially President Volodymyr Zelensky—and the deteriorating situation on the battlefield. Despite claims that Ukraine can still win, recent events on the ground suggest otherwise. Russia has now claimed full control over the Luhansk region, adding to Crimea and parts of Donetsk. Fighting continues in other contested oblasts like Kharkiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipro, showing Russia's growing territorial presence.
Commentator Patrick Henningsen emphasizes the symbolic and strategic importance of Luhansk, where anti-Kyiv sentiment and rebellion began after the 2014 Maidan uprising. He argues that this region was heavily defended by Ukraine and NATO forces, and its loss marks a major victory and morale boost for Russia. Henningsen suggests Russia is preparing for a broader summer/fall offensive, with ample trained reserves ready to hold and stabilize newly occupied territories.
The hosts criticize the failure of past diplomatic efforts—like the Minsk Agreements and the peace offer in April 2022—which could have preserved Ukrainian sovereignty over Donetsk and Luhansk in a limited form. They argue these rejections have only led to greater losses for Ukraine.
Zelensky’s rhetoric is portrayed as increasingly disconnected from the ground realities, with comparisons drawn to a "bunker mentality." The West, they argue, ignores the complex history—such as NATO expansion, the Maidan coup, and discrimination against Russian-speaking Ukrainians—and pretends the war started in 2022, omitting the buildup of tensions over years. Henningsen also highlights Russia’s long-standing openness to diplomacy through the Minsk Contact Group, which remains technically active.
