Episode notes

The pentagon confirmed late t Tuesday that the fighter planes and spare parts long requested by eukranian president valodimir zalens have been delivered. Most ukranians would prefer to have western advanced aircraft if that were feasible. The last thing, i think, that most ucranians would tell you that they want and need is heavy, long range artillery.

The US is spending billions to arm Ukraine against Russian invaders. But without the proper training or supplies, Javelin missiles can only do so much.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh and Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Amina Al-Sadi, engineered by Paul Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
