 Olga and Tara welcome investigative journalist Ben Swann — creator of the acclaimed Zelensky Unmasked series — for a wide-ranging conversation on the war in Ukraine that is draining a generation, Trump’s risk of becoming another Jimmy Carter, schisms within US intelligence agencies, Russia's recent elections, and much more.
Is Ukraine’s male population being sent to the front against their will, and why has fighting shifted almost entirely to drones? Why does Ben Swann argue that the war is being run less from the Pentagon and more from the CIA — and what does that mean for who actually controls US policy?
Why does Ben Swann call the latest Russia sanctions bill “toothless”, and what does he think it reveals about Washington’s real priorities? Is Trump boxed in by agencies and allies he underestimated?
What drove Trump’s decision to strike Iran despite warnings from his own Joint Chiefs chairman and Tulsi Gabbard — and why didn’t it go as planned? What do competing factions within the CIA and other intelligence agencies mean for Trump’s ability to change course?

 Olga and Tara welcome Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the OSCE.
Is Europe sleepwalking into a direct conflict with Russia? Why does Ambassador Polyanskiy say Europe has inched closer to one, and that a single incident could be enough to trigger it?
Is Washington a mediator or a source of pressure? Why does Ambassador Polyanskiy call Trump “mercurial” while describing US interests as “pragmatic”? How does he read the mixed signals — peace talks, a sanctions bill headed for Trump’s signature and a planned US base in Poland — and why does he say Russia is not counting on America’s help?
Is there a way back? Why does he say Russia’s door to diplomacy remains open, and that the first step is a clear declaration that neither side plans to attack the other? Can Europe move away from a zero-sum approach toward peaceful coexistence?
And is the UN slowly dying — or, as Ambassador Polyanskiy argues, are Western countries holding Security Council reform “hostage”?
