A podcast episode examined what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should do as his relationship with US President Donald Trump was described as having reached a new low. It said American support for Ukraine in the war was rapidly weakening, following what it described as a diesel deal between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin the previous week, a major US sanctions package against Russia over the weekend, and the Starlink system operating at half power.

Bob Deen, an Eastern Europe expert and director of the Clingendael Institute, provided analysis of what it called the current situation for Zelensky, who was described as increasingly openly distancing himself from Trump.
