  • World on Edge: The Alaska Summit, Putin’s Games, and How to End the Ukraine War
    Aug 21 2025

    After Trump’s meetings with Putin and Zelensky, is the Ukraine war any closer to peace? Is Putin serious about ending the war – and accepting security guarantees for Ukraine? Or is he playing a longer game?

    Steve is joined by Janice Stein and a special guest to discuss the state of the Ukraine war, land swaps, Article 5, and whether Canada should pursue closer ties with Russia.

    Today’s guest is Zach Paikin. He is a Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy. He is also Steve’s son.
