Russia’s Illegal Invasion of Ukraine: Strategy and Phases of the Campaign
CNN Military Analyst outlines the five phases of the War in Ukraine
Orlando – March 7, 2023 — For more than a year, Ukrainians have been faced with intense and, at times, criminal Russian aggression. The Russian strategy and their related military operational objectives have been fraught with failure during all phases of the campaign.
This Saturday, March 11, at 1:30 pm, Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling will present Russia's Illegal Invasion of Ukraine: Strategy and Phases of the Campaign. Retired Lieutenant General Hertling - a former commander of US Army, Europe - will discuss his experiences observing the Russian military during exercises and training events, as well as his time partnering with Ukraine's Army and helping them transform Ukraine's training center near Lviv. LTG Hertling will outline what he has judged to be the five phases of the campaign that has taken place thus far, citing some of the reasons for success and failure on both sides.
LTG Hertling is a national security and military analyst for CNN who has made frequent appearances on the network to discuss updates on the war in Ukraine. He predicted on February 24 that Ukraine would persevere in this war, and for the last 12 months has provided useful information on every phase of the campaign.
The lecture is a compliment to the museum’s current exhibition, Relentless Courage: Ukraine and the World at War, on view until March 26, 2023. The lecture is free to attend. For event information, museum hours, and admission information, visit https://omart.org/visit/tickets/.
