I don’t really see it like that,” Ivana Stradner, Research Fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told TVP World, adding that Ukraine “is doing quite well” in Washington halls of power. Furthermore, “nobody likes to support a loser,” Stradner said, ""so Washington is less and less eager to support Putin, but also because Putin has been trying to negotiate with the United States over the past several months, and everything that Putin promised, he didn’t deliver. And I think President Trump is growing more and more dissatisfied with the Kremlin.” Join TVP World’s Aaron Dahmen and his guest as they explore whether Putin’s vicious strikes on Ukrainian civilians project strength, or rather weakness, why the West needs to maintain economic pressure on Russia and weapons aid to Ukraine, and can Putin divide the allies ahead of the summit in a way that would create cracks in NATO’s most important asset: holding a united front.
