## Resource

Stanislav Krapivnik discusses Europe’s food and energy pressures, arguing that fertilizer costs, drought and disrupted Ukrainian exports could deepen hardship. He and Pascal Lottaz examine Germany’s AfD, divisions within European opposition parties, and the limits of renewed diplomacy with Moscow. Turning to Ukraine, Krapivnik assesses manpower shortages, Russian advances, seasonal fog and the changing role of drones. He argues that new defensive technologies may restore battlefield mobility, while Pascal questions whether local breakthroughs could develop into a broader military collapse.Stas’s YouTube: / @mrslavikman Stas’s Substack: https://zmeigarinich.substack.com Neutrality Studies Substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Donation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donate Merch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shop 00:00 Introduction 00:52 Europe’s food and fertilizer pressures 06:35 Strikes on Ukraine’s ports and railways 12:20 Germany’s AfD and Russia relations 18:24 Energy policy and its trade-offs 22:48 Diplomacy and Moscow’s ceasefire stance 29:54 Weather, manpower and Russia’s next advance 35:39 Tanks, drones and battlefield mobility
