Molly McKew (writer and lecturer on Russian influence and information warfare) joins Ron to break down a whirlwind of revelations about Trumpworld’s back-channel contacts with the Kremlin—and what they mean for Ukraine’s survival.

Molly explains the leaked call where envoy Steve Witkoff coached the Kremlin on how to influence Donald Trump. She details why this behavior is wildly outside diplomatic norms and directly weakens Ukraine on the battlefield.

Then, they unpack Russia’s rejection of a new “19-point plan,” what Putin actually wants, and how these negotiations are designed to drive a wedge between the U.S. and Europe.

Molly shares harrowing firsthand updates from Ukrainian units living under “complete drone saturation,” and delivers a clear message from the front: Ukraine is still fighting for its democracy—and they need U.S. support now more than ever.
