Sep 8, 2025
Russia launched the largest air attack of the war so far, damaging a government building for the first time, and killing more Ukrainian civilians. While President Trump says he is now ready to move to a "second phase" of sanctions on Moscow, despite the Kremlin claiming that sanctions could never force them to change course in the war. Michael Kofman, a senior fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joins the show to tell us where things stand on the battlefields.
Also on today's show: Ivan Briscoe, Senior Director for Policy, International Crisis Group; CNN Jerusalem Correspondent Jeremy Diamond; Stacey Abrams, former Democratic Leader, Georgia House of Representative
