I Never Thought I’d See This Shift on Ukraine
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Something significant appears to be changing in Washington. Following President Zelensky's Oval Office meeting with President Trump, reports indicate that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are preparing to visit Kyiv—the first such visit of its kind. Combined with discussions on Patriot interceptor production, meetings with Lockheed Martin, renewed diplomacy, and growing bipartisan pressure for tougher sanctions on Russia, this could mark an important turning point in U.S.-Ukraine relations. Today, Professor Gerdes examines the evidence, separates confirmed developments from speculation, and explains why Ukraine's battlefield success may be reshaping the political landscape in Washington.
Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points. Principle over partisanship.
