The series has followed the twists and turns of the unprovoked war over the last nine months.  \nUkrainian forces have successfully turned to the offense in the east while Russia continues to brutalize the civilian population with missile and drone strikes aimed at crippling infrastructure and energy supplies\, turning out lights and turning off heat “weaponizing winter.” Questions remain about the resilience of the West’s commitment to Ukraine — military\, humanitarian and other financial aid — and the endgame — what will it take to end the war. \nTNWAC’s and ACG’s “In Focus” series on the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues on December 6th with Ambassador John Kornblum\, providing insights and perspectives on the political\, diplomatic\, military and strategic developments. \n\n\n\nAmbassador John C.
