Today, Jess, Martha, Morgan, and Algene discuss the latest Ukraine ceasefire talks in London. With Trump envoy Keith Kellogg at the table, the administration is signaling it might walk away if a deal is not reached quickly. The administration’s push for Ukraine to give up Crimea, alongside Trump’s public frustration over continued Russian attacks, has raised concern among Ukraine’s allies.
What happens if the U.S. takes a step back from the conflict? Does the Trump Administration's Ukraine strategy embolden China? Does Zelensky have the leverage to resist a deal that hands Crimea to Russia?
Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
