Estonian PM Kaja Kallas

CNN
About this episode

As the critical NATO summit wraps up, Ukrainian President Zelensky may not be walking away with membership to the alliance, but he is leaving with a huge boost in military support. US President Biden and G7 leaders are announcing a new package, Germany is pledging more Patriot missiles, and a coalition of 11 member states is being formed to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16s. Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is one of Ukraine’s fiercest defenders. Living right next door to Russia, she’s consistently called for Europe to up its defense spending. She joins the show from the meeting of world leaders in Vilnius, Lithuania. 

Also on today's show: EU Commissioner Thierry Breton; US House Democrat Becca Balint & FEMA Regional Administrator Lori Ehrlich; former Disinformation Governance Board leader Nina Jankowicz
