Greg examines why Ukraine’s air-defense crisis and new signals from Washington may be moving U.S. policy toward outcomes Vladimir Putin wants.
At stake is Kyiv’s ability to stop Russian ballistic missiles—and Ukraine’s leverage in any future negotiations.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine intercepted only one ballistic missile during a major Russian attack because Patriot systems lacked missiles. Greg connects that warning to Donald Trump’s reversal on Patriot manufacturing rights, the planned transfer of leadership for a Ukraine assistance group, Trump’s remarks about the U.S.-Ukraine minerals agreement, and Marco Rubio’s push to bring the two sides’ “red lines” closer together.

The central question is whether Washington is shifting responsibility to Europe or applying pressure that could force Ukraine toward an unfavorable settlement. Share your assessment in the comments and subscribe for continued analysis.
