Ambassador Michael McFaul: Ukrainians May Fight On, Even with a Trump/Putin Deal
Description
In less than three weeks, Donald Trump will be back in the White House, and we’re waiting to see what he will tackle on Day One. On the campaign trail, Trump promised he’d end the fighting in Ukraine on January 20th. The war is nearing its third anniversary, and there are few signs an end is in sight.
Russian president Vladimir Putin has recently signaled he’s ready to compromise, but can president-elect Trump deliver a deal after almost three years of war?
This week, Ray Suarez speaks with former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul on the precarious future of Ukraine.
