Volodymyr Dubovyk, a professor at Odesa Mechnikov National University, talks about:

* the real and the imagined limits to how the West can help Ukraine and how minds can be changed, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson’s conversion;

* the importance of the argument of being “on the right side of history;”

* the wounded U.S. Republicans vs a president on the offensive for Ukraine ;

* how the $61 billion from Washington is an important step, “but nobody can relax, Russia is still a strong enemy;”

* the surprisingly strong and continued support for Ukraine in southern Europe;

* little Denmark’s unwavering support for Ukraine; and

* how Ukraine is Europe’s first line of defense against Vladimir Putin, so why not give Ukraine whatever weapons it needs?
