ESW Eurasia Editor Stas Krapivnik on the Darkest Aspects of the Ukraine War

Former U.S. Army officer and ESW Eurasia Editor Stanislav Krapivnik discusses what future generations will regard as the darkest chapters of the Ukraine War, including increasingly desperate calls for drafting teenagers and children by Kiev's ultranationalists. He also mentions the highly lucrative organ trafficking that's taking place in Ukraine under cover of warfare.

Stas also goes into the limited utility of the Panama Canal for the United States Navy and the real motivations behind the Trump Administration's demands on Panama to kick out all Chinese commercial firms which have operated the Canal without any issues for years. He also mentions Canadian counter-tariffs and Ottawa's limited ability to push back at the Trump tariffs.

Stas also previews his upcoming article on skilled trades opportunities emerging in Russia, including in reconstructing war-torn territories.
