It’s now been 15 months since Russia invaded Ukraine. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian military personnel have been killed. And now, it appears that Russia has succeeded in taking what is left of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after months of intense fighting.

As Ukraine prepares to launch its anticipated spring offensive, President Joe Biden has agreed to allow Americans to train Ukrainian forces to fly F-16 fighter jets—and allies can even provide some of those jets to Ukraine.

Has America provided Ukraine with the right kind of support? How important is the spring offensive to the future of the war? And how did the city of Bakhmut, which isn’t strategically located, become an epicenter in the war?

Victoria Coates, senior research fellow in international affairs and national security at The Heritage Foundation, joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to answer our most pressing questions about the future of the war and the prospects of Ukraine’s success.

Also on today’s show, we break down what is happening with the debate over the national debt and why Congress and Biden can’t agree on raising the debt limit. Plus, some climate activists poured black vegetable charcoal into the Trevi Fountain in Rome. We explain why.

And as always, we’ll be crowning our “Problematic Woman of the Week.”

The Hague-based Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) held its fifth review conference last week to assess implementation of the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and set priorities for the CWC’s next five years. The conference issued no final document because Russia and a small minority of member states prevented OPCW member states from including language that candidly addressed Russian and Syrian use of chemical weapons.

Moscow and its bloc in the OPCW — which includes China, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and a handful of others — rejected language in the draft document underscoring Russia’s and Syria’s CWC violations as well as other disputed issues. Ambassador Joseph Manso, U.S. permanent representative to the OPCW, told Agence France-Presse, “Our Russian colleagues were not so flexible.”

Though the Russian-led bloc, as well as one other nation, blocked FDD from participating in the conference, the author traveled to the Hague to participate in conference-related events and meetings. FDD learned from officials close to the OPCW that Russia and its partners objected to nearly three dozen of more than 200 paragraphs in the draft document. These paragraphs addressed the Syrian regime’s documented chemical weapons attacks against its own people since 2013 and the work of the OPCW’s Investigation and Identification Team, established by member states in 2018 to identify perpetrators of those attacks.

Russia and its bloc also objected to references regarding Moscow’s stockpiling of the banned nerve agent Novichok, which the Kremlin used in assassination attempts in the United Kingdom in 2018 and against Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in 2020. In addition, the bloc rejected language referencing the OPCW’s decision on the use of central nervous system-acting chemicals for law enforcement purposes, adopted by the OPCW in 2021.

Don't be surprised if Russia in Ukraine and China in Taiwan use chemical weapons!

Key Takeaways

    •     The Russian military command has likely ordered Chechen Republic Head Ramzan Kadyrov’s forces to begin offensive operations in Ukraine following the withdrawal of Wagner Group forces from Bakhmut.
    •     The claimed return of Chechen forces to offensive operations would break Kadyrovites from a nearly yearlong hiatus from participating in high-intensity combat operations.
    •     The Kremlin may be attempting to reintroduce Kadyrovites as the main offensive force following the culmination of Wagner forces and their withdrawal from the frontlines.
    •     The Kremlin may also be attempting to sever Kadyrov’s relationship with Wagner financier Yevgeny Prigozhin and re-emphasize federal authority over Chechen forces.
    •     The official Russian responses to recent attacks against Russia remain likely insufficient to satisfy the Russian ultranationalist information space’s desire for escalation in the war.
    •     Russian forces conducted ground attacks northwest of Svatove and south of Kreminna.
    •     Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks around Bakhmut and along the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line.
    •     Russian forces continue to concentrate in southern Ukraine.
    •     The Russian State Duma appears to be considering measures to legalize the military recruitment of current or formerly incarcerated Russian men.
    •     Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lyubinets announced that Ukraine has a new avenue to repatriate Ukrainian children abducted to Russia.
