Russia Is Betting on Time—Ukraine Is Betting on Technology

Thank You for Standing With Ukraine

Three major trends are shaping the Russia-Ukraine war right now: the fight over global diesel supplies, Russia’s determination to finance and man a long war, and an accelerating technology race that could determine what happens through the winter.

Greg Terry and Professor Gerdes challenge the claim that Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries are the main cause of the global diesel problem and examine the broader energy picture. They then turn to Russia’s expanding defense spending, continued manpower needs, pressure on occupied Ukrainians, and the signals suggesting the Kremlin is preparing for a prolonged conflict rather than winding one down.

The final—and potentially most important—trend is the technological race. Ukraine continues developing drones, robotics, interceptors, and new air-defense capabilities while Russia adapts its own Shahed attacks against energy and electrical infrastructure. With a difficult winter period approaching, the central question becomes whether Ukraine can scale its defenses fast enough while Western partners continue supplying systems such as NASAMS and Patriot.
