Ken and Jeff discuss a myriad of related topics, including F-16s to Ukraine, the status of foreign aid from the U.S. and European Allies, the Russian capture of the Ukrainian city of Avdviiika, and how the 2024 U.S. presidential election may impact support for the war effort. In addition to being a well-regarded thought leader on the War in Ukraine and a staunch advocate for U.S. and European support for Ukraine, Jeff is an award-winning author of character-driven military fiction thrillers. His fourth and most recent book, the Russian Puppeteer, is a timely novel that captures the essence of the underlying dynamics of Russia and the Ukraine War.
