As tensions remain high on the frontlines, Ukrainians remain hopeful - but no longer expect - US pressure on Russia anytime soon. On this episode of World Talks on TVP World, host Ashim Kumar speaks with Stefan Korshak, Senior Defense Correspondent at Kyiv Post, about the latest developments. Korshak offers key insights on:
- Why Ukrainians believe the Trump administration is prioritizing friendlier ties with Moscow.
- The absence of any real discussion around deploying Western troops.
- What Ukraine really needs from its allies - from air defense to precision weapons.
- Why negotiations with Russia are seen as futile without the backing of military strength.
- How President Zelensky’s image differs at home vs. abroad.
