About this episode

The episode discusses the economic strain on Moscow due to the Ukraine conflict and China's military preparations revealed through satellite imagery.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: Vladimir Putin has spent decades shielding Moscow from the consequences of his wars. Now, fuel shortages, business closures, and mounting economic warning signs suggest the Russian capital is beginning to feel the strain of the conflict in Ukraine. New satellite imagery reveals China has constructed a full-scale replica of a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer in the Xinjiang desert. We examine why Beijing is using an American warship for missile testing—and what it could reveal about China's preparations for a future conflict.
