Despite battlefield gains in 2022, the last year has brought significant hurdles to Ukraine's fight against Russia. On this episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia reflect on the past year's events and consider what might be in store for the Black Sea region—and the world more broadly—in 2024. They discuss Western will and commitment to Ukraine, the future of Zelenskyy, Russia's war plans, and Biden's re-election prospects.Show notes: Sign up for The Eastern Front‘s bi-weekly newsletter <a href="https://www.aei.org/sign-up-for-updates-from-the-eastern-front-podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here </a>and follow us on X <a href="https://twitter.com/EasternFrontPod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

The Ticking Time Clock on Ukraine Aid (with Jan Havránek)

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.”
