I recommend the podcast he discusses here as well. As for the counteroffensive continuing well into the fall: In the past week, there's been a completely unseasonal heat wave in Paris, with temperatures so high the government has been issuing its sternest health warnings (about staying hydrated and checking on the elderly and so forth). I have no idea what the forecast is for Ukraine, but this could be an exceptionally warm autumn in Europe. This could in turn mean an exceptionally long fighting season. -
