Is the US Abandoning Ukraine?

Is the US Abandoning Ukraine?

Author: Geopolitical Horizons February 20, 2025 Duration: 32:46
3 years ago on 24 February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine, in Europe's first interstate war since WW2. The western world all got behind Ukraine and said they would back the Ukrainians for as long as it takes. But today, 3 years on, much of the world has lost the appetite for supporting Ukraine as Russia continues to swallow up its territory. 

‘As long as it takes,’ has now been replaced with Ukraine should cede territory in order to bring the war to an end. In a telephone conversation between President Trump and Putin, Trump agreed that Ukraine should cede territory order to bring the war to an end. Trump's defence secretary went even further in a speech at NATO HQ, he said Ukraine is no longer NATO’s problem, it's Europe's problem. That's quite a U-turn.



Trying to make sense of the world's constant shifts requires more than just headlines; it needs context, depth, and a willingness to ask difficult questions. That's the space Geopolitical Horizons occupies. Each episode moves beyond the immediate news cycle to explore the deeper currents shaping our global landscape-the philosophical underpinnings of power, the cultural forces that drive societies, and the historical patterns that quietly repeat themselves. You’ll hear conversations that connect the dots between politics, identity, and human aspiration, offering not just analysis but a framework for personal understanding and growth in an interconnected age. This podcast is built on the idea that true education in current affairs involves examining the why behind the what, fostering a more nuanced perspective that listeners can carry into their own lives and communities. Geopolitical Horizons serves as a guide for those who feel that the standard narratives are insufficient, providing thoughtful commentary that is as concerned with the future of human society as it is with the day's events. It’s an invitation to look further, think deeper, and consider the vast horizon of possibilities that define our shared reality.
