From the transcript
If the next six months go according to plan, then Ukraine's about to win the war against Russia. That was the bold prediction offered by Brigadier General Andree Biletsky, founder of the Azov battalion and commander of the Ukrainian Third Army Corps, when he sat down for an interview with Reuters just a few days before this episode was released.
Speaking from an undisclosed location, in a bunker deep below the region of Kharkiev, Biletsky laid out his timeline as follows, quoting him, "I believe the next six to nine months are a turning point.
More precisely, I think the next six are the most critical." If in that time, Ukrainian forces can surge ahead on the battlefield, make meaningful strategic gains, and most of all hold the line against Russian troops, then Russia may end up offering concessions at the negotiating table and possibly before the year is out.
