Episode Details

In a fiery February 2025 meeting, Trump pressured Zelenskyy to accept a territorial deal, even forcing Ukraine’s delegation to leave — but Kyiv quietly turned the tide. Months later, Ukraine launched a daring drone strike that destroyed Russian bombers worth hundreds of millions. Since then, Kyiv has escalated, hitting oil, defense, and air systems inside Russia — even disrupting Moscow’s May 9 parade and scaring off big economic events. Strikes tripled in July alone. While Starlink gives Ukraine an edge, Russia counters with jamming and its own tech. Kyiv is now building weapons faster, less reliant on allies, though missile accuracy remains a hurdle. Zelenskyy says Ukraine is now fighting from the sky — and joked that peace talks in Moscow might be too risky.
