Battlefield failure can be the harbinger of further failure and defeat, or the beginning of adaptation and intellectual renewal that leads to victory. This is the challenge that faces the Ukrainian government after President Zelensky late last year accepted that the 2023 southern counteroffensive had failed to meets its objectives. 

In this episode of War Shorts, I explore the proposition that Ukraine should embrace Positional Warfare in 2024. I discuss why that it is, and how it might guide Ukrainie’s strategic priorities in the year ahead.
