How likely is a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine?
Summary
Politics professor Donnika Obachon joins Keira Kelly to analyze Donald Trump’s latest claims of a historic Ukraine-Russia deal, describing them as theatrical attempts to secure a Nobel Peace Prize rather than substantive progress. The discussion also covers escalating hybrid warfare in Europe, including recent bomb threats and cyberattacks, arguing that these stress tests aim to undermine democratic resilience.
