Now You Know 
Ukraine War Update

Alright,

I haven’t given you guys a proper update on Ukraine for some time now, and given the US has just let them use US armaments inside Russia, it feels like a good time to talk about the conflict.

Russia now holds approximately 20% of Ukraine. However, the war seems to be at a bit of a standstill. Russians and Ukrainians are fighting in trenches, trying to hold their respective front lines and prepare for long winter ahead.

However, Biden allowing US weapons to be used in Russia, likely one of the last major things he will do in his as president, is arguably reckless. The Kremlin has responded by saying that the US is adding ‘fuel to fire’. Long story short, Moscow is seriously pissed about this, and it’s arguably the biggest foreign intervention / escalation in the war we’ve seen in 2024 so far.

Could we see WW3 shortly?
