Washington has been a quiet battleground between Moscow and Kyiv. 2021 saw some of K Street's top lobbying firms duking it out over issues like the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, sanctions, and Ukrainian NATO membership.

Ben Freeman, an expert on foreign influence at the Quincy Institute and author of The Foreign Policy Auction, dug into the lucrative business of foreign influence in the United States, the transparency laws that govern it, and the high-stakes struggle between two enemies to shape U.S. policy.
