In *Midnight in Moscow*, John J. Sullivan provides a firsthand account of his time as the U.S. Ambassador in Moscow, particularly during the lead-up to and the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The book offers a detailed look into the inner workings of the U.S. embassy and the Kremlin, highlighting the deceit and aggression of the Putin regime. Sullivan discusses how the Russian government undermined the U.S. diplomatic mission and how the invasion marked a significant escalation in Russia's conflict not just with Ukraine, but also with the United States and the Western world. The memoir also explores Sullivan's personal and professional background, his experiences during the COVID pandemic, and the historical parallels between Putin's actions and those of Adolf Hitler during World War II.
Tangle Editor Will Kaback talked with Ambassador John Sullivan who gave a comprehensive overview of the current state of the Ukraine war, the implications for U.S. national security, and the challenges facing future administrations. They discussed the importance of supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression, critiques the political rhetoric surrounding the conflict, and reflects on his experiences in Moscow leading up to the invasion.
