Ukraine's manpower shortage is well known. Russia's challenge is different: not finding more soldiers, but deciding how far Vladimir Putin is willing to go to recruit them. Marco Giannangeli is joined by Sibylline Lead Europe Analyst Alexander Lord and eminent Russia expert Professor Mark Galeotti to discuss the mobilisation dilemma that could determine the course of the war into 2027.

Read Mark Galeotti's newest book Forged in War - a military history of Russia from its beginnings to today.

In this episode of What Just Happened?, Marco Giannangeli is joined by Sibylline analysts Owen Williams and Lewis Galvin to examine why Washington is reconsidering Turkey’s return to the F-35 programme ahead of NATO’s summit in Ankara.

They discuss Turkey’s cooling relationship with Russia, its enduring value to NATO, the limits of any rapprochement, and why concerns over democratic backsliding are being outweighed by harder strategic calculations.

In this episode of What Just Happened?, Marco Giannangeli is joined by Dr John Hemmings, Senior Adviser to the Pacific Forum and Jonah Kaplan, Principal Asia Pacific Analyst at Sibylline, to examine what recent conflicts may be teaching China's military planners.

Drawing lessons from the US, Israeli and Iranian conflicts, the discussion explores how Beijing is assessing American military capabilities, the growing role of artificial intelligence in warfare and the implications for future flashpoints such as Taiwan. The conversation concludes with an assessment of how these lessons could influence future Chinese strategy and the risks facing regional stability.
