Episode notes

This is basically a bilateral transfer from the US to Ukraine. So short of withdrawing support or reacting in some other way, then there's nothing these other countries can do. The democratically elected government of Ukraine has every incentive to minimize risk to civilians because it's their citizens who they are trying to protect and defend.

President Biden and other world leaders say it’s too dangerous to admit Ukraine into NATO while it’s at war with Russia. But, to the dismay of allies, the US will send cluster bombs to the front.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard with help from Amanda Lewellyn and Hady Mawajdeh, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
