Lots to get to today, but first, I wanted to tell you about the latest episode of “The Poynter Report Podcast,” which is out today.
On Feb. 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukraine in a war that continues to this day. Over that time, the Pentagon has been seemingly and fully transparent about the weapons that the United States has provided Ukraine in its efforts to fight Russia — more than $66 billion worth.
But what was not known was the United States’ full involvement in the war. Until now. Recently, The New York Times and reporter Adam Entous published a remarkable piece of journalism that delved deep into this topic. It was called “The Partnership: The Secret History of the War in Ukraine.”Entous conducted more than 300 interviews over the course of a year with government, military and intelligence officials in a wide array of countries. Those officials shared sensitive information about the U.S.-Ukraine connection, allowing Entous to paint a full and nuanced picture of this delicate and critical relationship.
Entous joined “The Poynter Report Podcast” to talk about his story.
In our conversation, Entous and I talk about how he was tipped off to the story, what it’s like to work on a story for a year, how the relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine has changed with President Donald Trump now in the White House, and where this all goes from here. Give it a listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Amazon Music, and please consider leaving us a like or review. It helps a lot.
