On February 24, 2022, the world watched in shock as Russian missiles rained down on Ukraine. What was supposed to be a swift takeover turned into a brutal war that has reshaped global politics. Two years later, Ukraine is still fighting, but as the 2024 U.S. election approaches, Western support is at a crossroads. Will political shifts and war fatigue give Vladimir Putin the upper hand?

In this episode, we explore:

The invasion that changed everything – How Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine defied global expectations and why Kyiv didn’t fall in three days as many predicted.

Ukraine’s resilience – The fierce defense of Kyiv, Mariupol, and Bakhmut, and how President Volodymyr Zelensky became a wartime leader with his famous words: “I need ammunition, not a ride.”

The power of Western aid – How U.S. and NATO support, from HIMARS to Leopard tanks, turned the tide—and whether shifting politics in Washington and Brussels could jeopardize Ukraine’s future.

Economic warfare – Did sanctions cripple Russia’s economy as intended, or did Moscow find ways to adapt? How did Ukraine’s drone strikes and naval attacks reshape the battlefield?

The next phase of the war – With the fight now reaching Russian soil, what does this mean for Putin’s grip on power and the future of global security?

America’s role in 2025 – Trump’s resurgence and rising isolationist policies could cut Ukraine off from vital aid. Will the West stand firm, or will political division hand Putin an unearned victory?

This is more than just a war—it’s a defining moment in modern history. Tune in to understand why Ukraine’s fight still matters and what the future may hold.
