About This Episode

This week marked the 1,000 day of the Ukraine War. We'll unpack recent developments, including Ukraine's use of US-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory for the first time, intensified Russian attacks near Kurakhove, the pause in operations at the US embassy in Kyiv, and Russia's updated nuclear deterrence doctrine. Then world leaders met this week in Azerbaijan for the UN Climate Summit, Peru for the APEC Summit, and in Brazil for the G20. How did Trump's victory affect the dynamics of these meetings, with Biden already fading into the background and Xi being front and center? We'll also talk about Trump's pick of RFK for US health secretary and the possible impact on global health and pandemic prevention. Stefanie Bolzen, Prashant Rao, and Andrew Roth join Ivo Daalder to discuss these topics and more on this week's World Review.
