Giselle, Iulia, and Dalibor break down the highlights and lowlights of Ukraine's ongoing defense and analyze allies' strategies to offer Ukraine defensive support. They call out the fallacy of partner countries "Westsplaining" how Ukraine ought to defend itself, and they discuss how Ukraine's allies should instead align their defensive actions according to Ukraine's needs.References: "<a href="https://www.aei.org/op-eds/putins-biggest-lie-blaming-nato-for-his-war/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Putin’s biggest lie: Blaming NATO for his war</a>" written by <a href="https://www.aei.org/profile/hal-brands/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hal Brands</a>, Senior Fellow at AEI, and published by Bloomberg Opinion on March 13, 2022.

Updates on fighting in Ukraine; US military aid to Ukraine (with Mason Clark)

Ensuring the balance of power in Europe has, since the inception of our republic, been a core security interest for the US. Today, and for the entire post-Cold War period, the challenges to the European peace have emerged along the line running roughly from the Baltic to the Black Sea. This is what we call the Eastern Front. Our goal in this podcast is to better inform the American people about what’s going on there. 
Join us, Iulia Joja and Dalibor Rohac every week on in our discussions on what’s next for “The Eastern Front.”
