Stevenson’s army, August 19

This somehow went unpublished Friday (it is August after all):

– WaPo has a second major story on Ukraine war, today how Russian intelligence fell short.

– Here are links to a summary article, and a summary of the first story.

– WSJ says Wagner group plays key role in Ukraine.

– FP says Congress and administration fight over Egypt aid.

– WSJ says China & Russia plan military exercises.

– I now have a link to the House HFAC GOP staff report on Afghanistan.
