Michael Baker: Ukraine’s Faltering Front, Polish Sabotage Foiled, & Trump vs. Kamala
In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief with Mike Baker:
- We examine Russia’s ongoing push in eastern Ukraine. While Ukrainian forces continue their offensive into the Russian region of Kursk, Russian troops are steadily advancing, creating an increasingly dire situation for Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines.
- Following warnings from the CIA and MI6 about Russian sabotage efforts, Polish security forces have announced they’ve dismantled a covert sabotage group tied to Russia and Belarus, allegedly plotting to destabilize Poland.
- Plus, the latest from the Gaza war as negotiators express doubts over reaching a phased hostage-ceasefire agreement with Hamas, labeling the chances as “close to zero.”
- And in today’s Back of the Brief, we preview tonight’s big debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
