Washington has begun rushing military supplies to Ukraine’s front lines after a long delay in getting approval from Congress. How will the aid change the state of play in the war with Russia?

Join FP’s Ravi Agrawal for a conversation with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s minister of foreign affairs, explains how urgently his nation needs American aid to reach the battlefield.

What should the Biden administration’s strategy be to counter Russian aggression? Kuleba suggests an “ambitious” plan for the future of Ukraine.

Kuleba takes on arguments that some Republicans have made against providing aid to Ukraine, arguing that the “security and prosperity of America” is at stake.

Kuleba makes the case for a peace process that does not (initially) include Russia: “It doesn’t make sense to have Russia at the table if you cannot ensure that they … act in good faith.”

Can China rein in Russia? Kuleba is working with China to do more, because “Russia is already in the hands of China.”
