Every man, woman, and child is in this fight for Ukraine.

They are tired, don't get me wrong, and the constant bombardments of the civilian population is exhausting.

But they are committed, they're confident, and they're very courageous, and they're going to keep on going.

Hello and welcome to the GZero World Podcast.

This is where you'll find extended versions of

interviews from my weekly show on public television. I'm Ian Bremmer, and a year and a half

after Russia's invasion, we are looking at the state of war in Ukraine. Why hasn't Ukraine's long-awaited

counter-offensive been more effective? Based on my conversations with high-ranking officials, things are going more slowly and less

successfully the NATO commanders had hoped and expected.

And although it looks like Ukraine's military has recently launched a major thrust towards the South

and the Sea of Azov.

The tide of war has yet to meaningfully change.

So why haven't the Ukrainians managed to do more and to do it faster?

And if military resolution to the conflict isn't coming anytime soon, could a diplomatic solution

be back on the table?

To discuss all that and more, I'm joined by former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.

Let's get to it.
