Ben Hodges, who served as the commanding general of the U.S. Army Europe between 2014 and 2017, told the Kyiv Post on Wednesday that while he takes the threat of nuclear warfare “very seriously,” he is not convinced the Kremlin would use such drastic measures even if Russian President Vladimir Putin starts to lose more territory. “Russia does have thousands of nuclear weapons and I take the threats very seriously, but I think it’s very unlikely that they would use the nuclear weapon because of all the negative consequences they would have to face,” Hodges said, according to the Post....

The pair are likely “competing for influence and patronage among pro-war politicians disillusioned with the progress of the war.” A public spat took place place between Prigozhin and Girkin, as the Wagner Group, a paramilitary unit founded in 2014, failed to make significant advances in Ukraine’s eastern region, the ISW noted....

Russia’s tactical failure on the ground defines the nature of the war so far. A quick occupation of the capital city Kyiv failed; Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, just 10 miles from the Russian border, has also held off the attackers. Though the fog of war obscures much of what is going on, Russia is consolidating control of territory while also destroying Ukraine’s capacity to defend itself. It isn’t quick progress, nor is it by any stretch of the imagination precise or pretty....

From the American Revolution through World War II, U.S. Army deserters, defined as those who abandoned their posts without permission for at least 30 days, faced harsh penalties if they were caught. Death is still the maximum penalty for deserting in wartime, but no one’s been executed for leaving the current conflicts.
