As Ukraine faces another winter under siege, the Russian military continues to escalate its violence and push forward along the eastern front. And it’s all taking place against the global backdrop of the U.S. transition to a new presidential administration, multiple collapsed governments in Europe, and the fall of the Kremlin-backed Assad regime in Syria.
