Olga and Tara are joined by renowned political scientist and University of Kent Professor Richard Sakwa — to dissect the legacy left by US Senator Lindsey Graham, who suddenly died right after visiting Ukraine.

Will the departure of one of the chief “Trump whisperers” open a long-awaited diplomatic channel between Washington and Moscow — or will the military-industrial complex continue its relentless march unchecked? Can a highly individualized foreign policy under Donald Trump bypass the systemic “war machine” that Graham so gleefully championed for decades?

Why are NATO leaders offering Ukraine high-tech Patriot transfers when the engineering capacity and intellectual property safeguards simply do not exist? As Western Europe battles severe “war fever” despite crumbling domestic economies, how do elites justify historic military spending?

We also look into the UK facing a rapid leadership transition under Andy Burnham — and break down what modern Russophobia actually implies.

🔔 East Meets West explores geopolitics beyond the headlines, offering uncensored analysis and a deeper look at the forces shaping global events.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 Troops of the "coalition of the willing" in Ukraine will become a legitimate military target for Russia - Maria Zakharova

Their deployment in the country is unacceptable, noted the spokeswoman the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"We wanted to emphasise the unacceptability for our country of the deployment of any military contingents from countries of the so-called 'coalition of the willing' in Ukraine. This will de facto mean a foreign intervention and an increase in the threat to Russia's security. Such units will be considered by us as legitimate military targets.”

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🌾📉 Russian strikes have significantly undermined the export capacity of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports - Reuters

The ports have lost about a third of their grain transshipment capacity.

Exports of grain and vegetable oils remain Ukraine’s main source of foreign exchange earnings, with over 90% of shipments passing through three ports in the Odessa region.

Four of Ukraine’s thirteen largest grain terminals have temporarily suspended grain purchases following a series of attacks. In addition, some shipowners are refusing to call at Ukrainian ports due to increased risks.

The Ukrainian Farmers’ Union notes that Russia is systematically striking port infrastructure, terminals, and logistics facilities. According to the organisation’s estimates, current capacity allows for the export of about 4 million metric tons of grain per month.
