Podcast host Alex Gabuev is joined by Gideon Rachman, chief foreign affairs commentator for the Financial Times, to talk about the World Economic Forum in Davos and the European strategic discussion on the war in Ukraine and managing a rogue Russia.

Can Europe support Ukraine while managing its own domestic challenges and a volatile U.S. foreign policy? What are Western leaders thinking in terms of their Russia strategy?
