Will Zelenskyy get a say in the Russia/Ukraine peace talks? Admiral James Stavridis says it is “somewhere in the middle”

By Michael Smerconish, featuring Retired Admiral James Stavridis, Fletcher Dean Emeritus, and former supreme allied commander of NATO

Michael turns to the expertise of the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO as the US and Russia meet in Saudi Arabia to talk about a possible end to the Russia-Ukraine War. But, who is currently not at the peace talks table? Ukraine. Admiral James Stavridis (Ret.) joins the conversation, noting that not having Ukrainians and Europeans take part in peace negotiations is like “having a trial for assault where the victim isn’t allowed to testify. It would be like having a murder trial where key witnesses (the Europeans) aren’t allowed to be at the table to describe what they saw.” Listen to his full analysis here.
