There are reports coming out of Ukraine indicating that there has been a sharp uptick in Russian artillery losses. This data isn’t confirmed, but it could be a good sign for Ukraine.

As we know, the Russians rely heavily on their artillery for inflicting casualties on Ukraine. If reports are true, this could be a serious blow to the Russian military. So, what is contributing to the Ukrainians success?

There are a number of factors at play here. The Russians are using North Korean shells, which limit their range and accuracy. The Ukrainians have Western tech and support, which has enabled them to utilize long range drones and advanced weapons like the ATACMS.

Should this trend continue, the Russians will struggle to keep up with the losses they are incurring and it could be a huge break on the frontlines for the Ukrainians. Once I return from my backpacking trip, perhaps we’ll have a more clear picture of what all this looks like.

We appreciate the interest and engagement from our followers, but with Peter’s travel schedule and sheer volume of requests, we are unable to answer non-business-related questions via e-mail. Use the ‘Ask Peter’ page below for your video topics, ideas and burning questions…

Here at Zeihan On Geopolitics we select a single charity to sponsor. We have two criteria:

First, we look across the world and use our skill sets to identify where the needs are most acute. Second, we look for an institution with preexisting networks for both materials gathering and aid distribution. That way we know every cent of our donation is not simply going directly to where help is needed most, but our donations serve as a force multiplier for a system already in existence. Then we give what we can.

Today, our chosen charity is a group called Medshare, which provides emergency medical services to communities in need, with a very heavy emphasis on locations facing acute crises. Medshare operates right in the thick of it. Until future notice, every cent we earn from every book we sell in every format through every retailer is going to Medshare’s Ukraine fund.

And then there’s you.

Our newsletters and videologues are free and we will never share your contact information with anyone. All we ask is that if you find one of our releases in any way useful, that you make a donation to Medshare. Over one third of Ukraine’s pre-war population has either been forced from their homes, kidnapped and shipped to Russia, or is trying to survive in occupied lands. This is our way to help who we can. Please, join us.
