Is the war in Ukraine at a stalemate? | Russia-Ukraine war

Russia’s economy withstands Western sanctions, while US political divisions are worrying Kyiv.

Many observers believe the war in Ukraine is at a deadlock.

Despite much foreign financial and military aid – and managing to hold Russian forces back – Ukraine’s efforts on the battlefield have won little ground recently.

Bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States has disintegrated, threatening funding, with uncertainty also posed by next year’s US presidential election.

For Russia, there have been high military casualties. But it seems to have weathered much of the economic damage from wide-ranging sanctions.

So what could happen militarily and politically in 2024? And will it be a decisive year in this war?

Guests:

Pavel Felgenhauer – Russian military and defence analyst

Michael Bociurkiw – Global affairs analyst and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center

How do Palestinians factor into Israel’s vision for the Middle East? | Israel-Palestine conflict

David Frum, writer for The Atlantic magazine and pro-Israel commentator, says Palestinian statehood is not the solution.

David Frum, staff writer for The Atlantic magazine and a pro-Israel supporter, tells host Steve Clemons that Israel and the United States should “avoid solution-ism” for the Palestinians and focus on day-to-day necessities, like food and water.

The way Israel has responded to the Hamas attack of October 7 was “inevitable”, Frum says, adding that “Israel has never been allowed this much scope to act”, by the US, United Kingdom and European Union.

Join this wide-ranging conversation on the internal debates within Israeli society, and how Israel envisions the future of the region, including rapprochement with Saudi Arabia.
