Description

As the U.S. media focuses on details of President Trump’s dealings with the newly elected President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, GZERO World with Ian Bremmer is taking a deep dive into the former Soviet republic itself. Why is corruption so rampant in Ukraine, and why have so many American business and political leaders been drawn to it? In this episode, we break down the anatomy of the infamous phone call between Trump and Zelensky, explain to viewers who the Ukrainian president is and how he became a central focus of the impeachment inquiry, and discuss the unprecedented political environment for career diplomats in Washington, people who Polyakova says have been “thrown under the bus” by the Trump administration. All this, plus a close examination of Hunter Biden’s questionable board position at Burisma, and how it differs from Paul Manafort’s criminal actions in Ukraine.
