The biggest threat to Ukraine in 2027 may not come from the battlefield. It could come from the political calendar. In a new analysis, @HelloFrankLavin argues that as Trump enters lame-duck status, incentives for a rushed Russia-Ukraine settlement could intensify, increasing pressure on Europe and Ukraine to accept unfavourable terms. ā³Time may be the most important variable.

Why have U.S. relations with Europe deteriorated so sharply and should this be a matter of concern for Americans or Europeans? Even if the Trump Administration ignited the fire, is it in Europe's interest to help extinguish it? Great podcast conversation with @JimSanFrancisco
