Episode notes

A lot of the problems in 2023 are solved by making use of the lame duck session. Up until now, Ukrainian or sort of a Ukraine assistance has tended to be through relatively large ad hoc tranches of support. I think what that's likely to change is there's going to be a push to have essentially a super fund which acts functionally as a trust fund so that they can maintain support.

Matt Tait is a cybersecurity expert who has worked both in the private sector and for the British government at GCHQ, the UK's intelligence, security, and cyber agency. He's also a Lawfare contributor. Like a lot of us, Tait has spent the last several months thinking about Ukraine, and Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes had cybersecurity questions for him. They talked about why the Ukrainian internet is still functioning and why the Russians have been so ineffective in the cyber arena. They also talked about whether U.S. support for Ukraine is threatened with Republicans in control of the House and what the Biden administration is going to do about Section 702, which is scheduled to expire at the end of next year.
