Will Trump's shift on Ukraine help end war? Experts weigh in

Season 2025 Episode 196 | 8m 37s

In announcing a new weapons package for Ukraine and a ceasefire deadline for Putin, President Trump reversed his previous stance towards Russia’s invasion. But will the weapons have the intended effect for Ukraine, or does the deadline give Russia weeks more to continue its onslaught? William Brangham has views from Kimberly Kagan and Jennifer Kavanagh.
