Episode Notes:

A surprise phone call between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin opened a turbulent week in Washington’s relations with Moscow and Kyiv. Plans for a summit were quickly shelved, sanctions on Russia’s largest oil companies were announced, and the White House signaled caution on long-range weapons for Ukraine. Max Bergmann from the Center for Strategic and International Studies joins the Warcast to discuss these developments.
