Donald Trump takes a more severe stance toward Ukraine than ever before. He waived sanctions on Russia, allowed imports of Russian diesel, and, most troubling, choked off intelligence sharing and restricted the use of Starlink satellite internet. But first we cover the deteriorating situation in Kyiv regarding missile and drone strikes.
How did the party of Reagan come to be so favorable to Russia? The easy answer comes down to just Trump, but it is rooted in a much older tradition that was counting down the years until the end of Cold War consensus to assert itself. It is a story of anti-liberalism, anti-modernity, and, often, antisemitism.

Both Russia and Ukraine have taken direct damage to their economic infrastructure. Ukraine has been dismantling the Russian Wildberries e-commerce company while continuing the bombing of oil and gas refining and export. Meanwhile, Russia has bombed Ukrainian warehouses and big-box stores and intensified its attack on Odesa harbour. How will this affect either society?

Following the sacking of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov due to his conflicts with Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukrainian civil society began daily protests across many cities.
