Previous Episode: Four months into Russia's war in Ukraine, are the Western sanctions having any impact ... and are they doing more harm to the U.S. economy than Russia's?!
Next Episode: First Americans who went to fight for Ukraine captured by the Russians, which adds a complicated new twist to this war: could their fates draw the U.S. deeper into the conflict?

All of that enthusiasm and optimism from the early days of Russia's war in Ukraine, when Ukrainians were able to beat back the Russian offensive on Kyiv, has turned to pessimism in recent weeks. That's because Russia's brutal, grinding campaign in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine is paying dividends.

Today the leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Romania met with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy today in Kyiv. They're pledging support but there's concern that support could be cracking.
