Podcast
July 9, 2026
Ukraine’s manpower shortage is well known. Russia’s challenge is different: not finding more soldiers, but deciding how far Vladimir Putin is willing to go to recruit them. Marco Giannangeli is joined by Sibylline Lead Europe Analyst Alexander Lord and eminent Russia expert Professor Mark Galeotti to discuss the mobilisation dilemma that could determine the course of the war into 2027.
Read Mark Galeotti’s newest book Forged in War – a military history of Russia from its beginnings to today.
