Russians panic over 'new Operation Spiderweb’ & Trump abandons three-way talks with Putin and Zelensky

Russians panic over 'new Operation Spiderweb’ & Trump abandons three-way talks with Putin and Zelensky

Day 1,262.

Today, as deadline day begins, we discuss how plans for a trilateral summit of Trump, Zelensky, and Putin are already in jeopardy, and assess how the new tariffs on India are already impacting Russia’s increasingly precarious economy. We also cover reports of a new attack similar to Operation Spiderweb, and we do a deep dive into the history of Ukrainian chess, playing an International Master.
