In the latest episode of the podcast “Damn Questions” (Кляті питання), journalist Yevhen Buderatskyi and military analyst Fedir Popadyuk provide a detailed analysis of the week’s events in the war in Ukraine. The focus is on the air blockade of Crimea. They discuss how Ukrainian forces gradually pushed out Russian air defense from the peninsula, then started targeting fuel trucks and bridges. These strikes affect Russian military logistics and could lead to a complete blockade of Crimea. Separately, the podcast covers the bombing of a car belonging to Major General Damir Davydov, head of the Main Rocket and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Another topic is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, though its content is not disclosed.
