Ukraine is vitally dependent on US weapons as it wages the counteroffensive now prompting
Russia to withdraw from the key provincial capital of Kherson. Will American support continue
if Republicans wield more power in Congress? Will they rally once again around “America first”?
Republicans who lean toward isolationism and especially supporters of former President Trump
have said there need to be limits to US support for Ukraine. Even Joe Biden’s Democrats say
Kyiv should signal more willingness to negotiate with Russia.

Our guests:
Laura von Daniels, head of the research division “The Americas” at the Berlin based think tank SWP.
Matthew Karnitschnig is chief Europe Correspondent for "Politico".
Michael Thumann, diplomatic correspondent for the German weekly "Die Zeit".
