Episode notes

Zelensky is very interesting because to him as a politician, it's very important to find the language. And he also told me that he will go exactly where his people want him to go. He is 49, he was too young to serve in the Soviet army. I think he is surprised everybody in the world who expected the Ukrainian army to fall in the first few days of the war. Because more than 95 or 96% of people want to do a keypad, all the people want to doing it.

Our correspondent sits down with President Volodymyr Zelensky and two top military commanders—concluding that the next few months will determine the future of Ukraine. Morocco’s inspired run in the World Cup sparked much debate about its identity as an Arab country. And our co-host investigates the vanishing pleasures of American Jewish delis—over lunch, of course.
