On this episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with a warning about the crumbling of U.S. support for
Ukraine under President Donald Trump. He lays out how the Trump
administration has slowed the flow of weapons to Ukraine,
undermined sanctions on Russia, and made empty promises about
future action while spending more money upgrading Trump’s private
jet than aiding Ukraine’s defense. Then David is joined by the
journalist Tim Mak, reporting from Kyiv, and Adrian Karatnycky, a
senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, for a
conversation about Ukraine’s resilience in the face of U.S.
abandonment. They discuss why the Ukrainian people remain united,
how battlefield conditions have evolved, and why no
politician—Ukrainian or American—can force a peace that rewards
Russian aggression. They also talk about President Volodymyr
Zelensky’s controversial anti-corruption reforms, the surge of
youth-led protests, and whether Ukraine’s Western allies truly
understand what’s at stake. Get more from your favorite Atlantic
