298. Will Ukraine be affected by events in Iran?

This week on Battleground, Saul David and Patrick Bishop unpack a seismic shift in global conflict. As Israel's astonishing assault on Iran's military leadership and nuclear capabilities sends shockwaves through the Middle East, we explore its profound, and potentially beneficial, implications for the war in Ukraine, especially regarding Russia's crucial military ally and its struggling hardware.

Meanwhile, the spotlight turns to President Trump's controversial stance: his willingness to engage in the Iran conflict on Israel's side stands in stark contrast to his perceived pro-Russian position on Ukraine. We dissect his G7 remarks, the international pushback, and the chilling silence from the White House following a devastating attack on Kyiv. Plus, as Russia's allies dwindle, Sergei Shoigu makes a desperate plea to North Korea. Join us for a critical discussion on how these dramatic global events are reshaping the future of the war in Ukraine and the balance of power.
