Episode notes

If Ukraine can recapture enough territory and put Putin's forces on their heels, then at that point we're willing to restart talks. But even if they are successful, isn't there a lot of assuming on the table that Russia would even come back to the table and talk about this? I think any talk involves Crimea not being a part of Ukraine.

Brands keep spending on TikTok despite a threat by the US to ban the social media app, KKR is looking to buy a large stake in FGS Global, and Ukraine says it’s “ready” to talk to Russia about the Crimean peninsula if Kyiv’s counteroffensive succeeds. Plus, the FT’s Anjli Raval examines whether boomerang chief executives actually work out for their companies.
