Hear from the Fmr. US Amb. to Ukraine Who Quit Over US Policy Toward Russia - Amanpour and Company PBS
Russia continued to pound Ukraine with overnight drone attacks — just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to his American counterpart, Donald Trump.

Last month Bridget Brink resigned her post as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine in protest over the marked change in policy towards Russia and Ukraine. Brink joins the show from Washington, D.C. to explain why it matters that America ensure Ukraine does not lose and Russia does not win the war it started. - Originally aired on May 21, 2025.
