In this edition of Issues of Contemporary Politics with Dr. Brovkin, I discus the opening phase of the deal-making between Presidents Trump, Zelensky and Putin. Is there a contradiction between a call for NATO to increase defense spending and a call to Putin to make a deal? Is a method of threats of sanctions going to move Putin to deal? I also discuss Mr. Arestovich's criticism of Zelensky and some of his revelations of corruption in Ukraine.
Dr. Brovkin is an American historian, former Harvard Professor of Soviet History, the author of several books on Russian History, all available on Amazon. His latest book: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin: Russia in Search of Its Identity (London: Routledge 2023) is available from Barbes and Noble, Amazon, and Routledge.com
