Why the Ukraine War Won't End the Way You Think10 Jun37 min

Ukraine just struck Putin's hometown during the St Petersburg Economic Forum. Is this a genuine shift in momentum or another false dawn in a war that keeps defying predictions?

Dan Ridler, Senior Analyst for Europe at the Economist Intelligence Unit, joins to cut through the noise.

Plus — how do you verify Russian economic data when Moscow keeps hiding it? And what's the single biggest variable that will determine where this war goes next?
