Can Ukraine and Europe Win Alone? with Gustav Gressel and Franz-Stefan Gady

The Trump administration began negotiations with Russian officials in  Saudi Arabia last week, and its exclusion of both Kyiv and its European backers from the table cast doubt on the viability of any potential settlement. At the same time, it is far from certain that the Ukrainians can continue their war efforts without the United States’ support, even if Europe steps up its support in the months ahead. 

This episode of Brussels Sprouts, recorded on the 3rd anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, is joined by Gustav Gressel and Franz-Stephan Gady.  

Franz-Stefan Gady is an Adjunct Senior Fellow with the Defense Program at CNAS and the founder of Gady Consulting. 

Gustav Gressel is an expert on Russia, Eastern Europe, and defense policy at the National Defense Academy in Vienna.
