Anatol Lieven, director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, discusses why he doubts Ukraine will be able to win a military victory against Russia, even with military support from the U.S. and other Western allies.

He speaks with Peter O’Dowd about why that aid is important to put Ukraine in a better position to negotiate a diplomatic solution to end the war.
