Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine’s energy grid, leaving many in the country in the dark over the holiday. Retired Col. Jack Jacobs shares his thoughts about recent developments in Ukraine and a potential twist in North Korea’s involvement.

The statement sheds light on the challenges faced by foreign troops supporting Russia in the conflict and raises questions about the treatment and coordination of allied forces on the front lines.
