Essential Geopolitics: What a Trump Presidency Would Mean for the Russia-Ukraine War

This podcast was recorded prior to Ukrainian forces' incursion into Russia's Kursk region on Aug. 6.
On July 15, former U.S. President and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump selected Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate. Among other reasons, the selection was notable because Vance is one of the most outspoken opponents in the U.S. Senate of sending aid to Ukraine, being one of just 15 Republican senators who on April 30 voted against a bill providing around $61 billion in support for Ukraine. As a result, his selection as Trump's running mate reignited concerns that a Trump administration would seek to block further aid to Ukraine. In this episode of Essential Geopolitics, RANE Eurasia Analyst Matthew Orr lays out scenarios for a possible Trump administration's Ukraine policy.
