Welcome to the world in 10 in an increasingly uncertain world.
This is the Times daily podcast dedicated to global security.
I'm Alex Dibble and I executive produce the podcast.
The World in 10 is partnered with Frontline, the interview series from Times radio, available on YouTube with expert analysis of the world's conflicts.
At the weekend, we bring you Frontline interviews in full.
Here's one from this week.
I hope you find it interesting.
Hello and welcome to Frontline.
For Times Radio, I'm Louis Sykes.
Today we're talking about the war in Ukraine with Mark Kantzian, a retired colonel with more than three decades of service in the US Marine Corps.
He's now a senior advisor in the Defense and Security Department of the think tank center for Strategic and International Studies.
Mark, thank you very much for joining us.
Thanks for having me on the show.
I wondered if we could just start with your reaction to the killing of the Russian general Igor Kirilov.
Well, on the one hand, this is not a unique event.
The Ukrainians have reached out and assassinated personnel in Ukraine before, in Russia before, and have targeted senior officers before, whether in the homeland or on the battlefront.
So it's not a surprise.
On the other hand, the United States is very uncomfortable with this.
It's worried that assassination campaigns can get out of hand and that there will be assassination attempts not just at the battlefield but globally.
