The last few weeks have been an intense time for Ukrainians. On the diplomatic front, we have the United States first withdrawing and then reinstating military and intelligence aid. Europe has begun to rally together out of the threat of facing Russia without America's help. There is a ceasefire proposal that Ukraine accepted but Russia rejected.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Ukrainian army is withdrawing from its positions in the Kursk region of Russia while beating back the Russian advance in multiple locations along the front, including in Pokrovsk.

This was a general Q&A to make sense of what has been an extremely eventful few weeks.

The New Voice of Ukraine held a Q&A Livestream for its Patreon subscribers with political analyst Dr. Kari Odermann on the Munich Security Conference.

Kari was a participant at the recent Munich Security Conference where US Vice President JD Vance delivered a broadside against the European political order. He spoke little about Ukraine in this speech, but the administration was preparing bilateral talks, excluding Ukraine, with the Russian Federation at the same time.

This drew an icy response from most others who were there, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. We discussed this speech and other issues at the Munich Security Conference, along with the wide-ranging effects they may have in Europe in general and Ukraine specifically.
