Summary
Jacobin Radio presents a webinar, moderated by Suzi and sponsored by Haymarket Books and the Ukraine Solidarity Network, marking the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Just days after this discussion, the Trump administration laid out a deal that trades an end to the fighting for U.S. economic control over Ukraine’s minerals without providing security guarantees. This is no peace plan but a surrender, a betrayal of Ukraine’s fight for self-determination. Denys Pilash, Grusha Gilaeva, and Howie Hawkins unpack Trump’s blackmail, the consequences of a more Putin-friendly policy, what’s at stake for Ukraine, and what it will mean for political prisoners and the left in Russia.
Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Jacobin Radio. This episode of Jakubin Radio presents a webinar sponsored by Haymarket Books and the Ukraine Solidarity Network, marking the third |
| 0:22.6 | anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Just days after this discussion, the Trump |
| 0:29.3 | administration laid out its vision for peace, a deal that trades an end to the fighting for |
| 0:34.2 | U.S. economic control over Ukraine's critical minerals without security guarantees. |
| 0:39.3 | This is no peace plan but a surrender, a betrayal of Ukraine's fight for self-determination. |
| 0:44.3 | Our panel unpacks Trump's blackmail, the dire consequences of a Putin-Trump axis, |
| 0:50.3 | and what's at stake for Ukraine and Putin's left critics. Stay tuned for Ukraine's |
| 0:56.4 | fight for self-determination, three years of resistance against Russian imperialism. |
| 1:16.2 | Welcome to our speakers and to all of you in the audience. |
| 1:25.1 | This is our webinar on Ukraine's fight for self-determination and three years of resistance against Russian imperialism. |
| 1:30.3 | I'm Susie Wiseman, and I will be your moderator during this webinar, sponsored by the Ukraine Solidarity Network in the U.S., and hosted by Haymarket Books. I teach Soviet and |

| 1:42.5 | beneath the surface and podcast Jacobin Radio, |
| 1:45.7 | and I'm an editor of Against the Current and Critique, and I'm active with the campaign to free |

| 1:56.8 | third anniversary of Putin and the Kremlin's reckless invasion of Ukraine, 1,095 days |
| 2:03.4 | of unrelenting slaughter, and destruction in a war that has changed the trajectory of the |
| 2:09.1 | 21st century. Too much of the international left has responded badly to this war, seeing |
| 2:14.2 | the U.S. and NATO as responsible absolving Putin and leaving Ukraine out of the |
| 2:20.3 | discussion. We salute the fierce resistance of Ukraine and thank leftists like Taras Billis and |
| 2:26.0 | our speaker, Dennis Pylash, who have explained to the international left why they should stand in |
| 2:31.6 | solidarity with Ukraine in their fight against the Kremlin, now more than ever. |
