But it also makes European policy towards Ukraine, towards Russia, more coherent and consistent.” Join Marie Kato and her guest, as they explore how the U.S.’s frustration with Putin’s unwillingness to negotiate in good faith and the electoral loss of Viktor Orbán in Hungary has allowed Europe to seize the initiative, how Ukraine is turning from a costly burden to a future defense asset for the Old Continent, and how the focus on the past leaves Poland sidelined when the great powers discuss the future of Europe.
