With repeated strikes on the Primorsk and Ust-Luga terminals, Kyiv is hitting the Kremlin where it hurts most: the wallet. We examine how these attacks are effectively neutralising the financial \"boon\" Putin hoped to reap from rising global oil prices following recent escalations in the Persian Gulf.</p>\n<p>\nLater in the program, Patrick Bishop interviews author <strong>Julian Evans</strong> about his acclaimed book, <em>Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War</em>.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Join the Conversation: If you have a question about the war in Ukraine or any of the conflicts we cover, email us at podbattleground@gmail.com</p>\n<p>Follow us on:</p>\n<p>X - @PodBattleground</p>\n<p>Instagram - podbattleground</p>\n<p>TikTok - battlegroundukraine</p>\n<p>Producer: James Hodgson</p>\n<p>A Goalhanger Podcast</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.
