Russia-Ukraine War Report for July 20, 2023 - PMC Wagner’s New Mission, Ukraine’s Slow Offensive, Black Sea Grain Initiative Next Steps

The Russia-Ukraine War Report provides comprehensive, fact-based news coverage about the war in Ukraine. Our team of journalists, researchers, and analysts are from Georgia, Israel, Canada, Finland, Poland, Ukraine, the U.S., and the U.K. We go beyond content aggregation and provide analysis and assessments on how today's stories shape the war's future.

Today's episode is hosted by our Chief Content Officer, David Obelcz, and covers,

• PMC Wagner has reappeared along with its leaders, Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmytry Utkin. What's next for the mercenary group?
• A New York Times story created a lot of confusion on the status of Ukraine's offensive, which continues to progress slowly. Is the offensive already over?
• Russia left the Black Sea Grain Initiative and is flattening Ukrainian port infrastructure. What's next as commodity markets and the food supply for hundreds of millions hangs in the balance.
