About this episode
In this episode, we break down new reports indicating Vladimir Putin has no willingness to compromise in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, and why that changes the West’s strategic assumptions. In this episode, we explain what this means for U.S. and allied policy—prioritizing deterrence, strengthening Ukraine, and reducing energy and supply-chain dependence that authoritarian regimes can exploit.
