Ukraine's boldest and riskiest move this year - what next?
Analysis from the 大象传媒's Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner, after forces seized a pocket of Russian territory.

Battered daily by Russia鈥檚 drones, missiles and glide bombs, its exhausted front-line forces falling slowly back in the Donbas, Ukraine was in dire need of some good news this summer.
With this extraordinarily bold and well-executed incursion into Russia鈥檚 Kursk oblast, it got it. So what does Ukraine do next ? In this Reporter Read podcast - the 大象传媒's Security Correspondent Frank Gardner offers his analysis.
