In this episode of Cold War 2.0, Kevork Almassian is joined by historian Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar, a specialist in Ukrainian, Russian, and Soviet history. We break down how the global power struggle is converging on Kyiv, Moscow, Brussels, Yerevan, Tel Aviv, and New York.
We start in Ukraine, where President Volodymyr Zelensky has just lost his powerful chief of staff Andriy Yermak in a $100m energy-sector corruption scandal, after anti-corruption agencies raided his office and home. With the front lines under pressure and US diplomats pushing for “painful” territorial concessions, we ask whether Zelensky can survive both the war and a potential peace deal.
Then we turn to Donald Trump’s back-channel peace initiative and why Vladimir Putin appears to be sending his messengers packing while maneuvering for a larger geopolitical win over the US and EU. What would a Trump-brokered peace look like for Ukraine, Russia, and Europe – and who pays the price?
Next, we look at EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas demanding that Armenia join EU sanctions against Russia as Yerevan moves closer to Brussels and further away from Moscow. Is the South Caucasus becoming another front in Cold War 2.0?
Finally, we examine Israel’s push for a massive new US aid package that could lock in support for decades, even as global public opinion shifts. We also discuss Benjamin Netanyahu’s taunts of NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, daring him to enforce the ICC arrest warrant if he visits New York. What does this showdown say about international law, Western hypocrisy and the future of US–Israel relations?
