Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th, 2022. And despite President Donald Trump's promise to end the conflict on his first day back in office, the two countries are still at war. So far, over 300,000 Russian soldiers have died in the war, compared to roughly 150,000 Ukrainian soldiers. The fighting is brutal, and it seems to keep… going. So how can both sides end this conflict – and what will the U.S. do to help (or hurt) the peace process? To find out, we spoke with Lucian Kim. He's a senior Ukraine analyst for the International Crisis Group. When we spoke, he had just returned from an 11-day trip to Ukraine. And in headlines, Trump holds off on striking Iran, a data analytics firm unveils just how much several Polymarket accounts have made betting almost exclusively on U.S. military operations, and Trump's approval rating continues to dip.

  • It's Tuesday, May 19th.

  • I'm Jane Koston.

  • And this is What A Day, the show that totally agrees with Vice President J.D. Vance.

  • Here he is speaking in Kansas City on Monday.

  • If you want to rebuild the American dream for the next generation,

  • vote against the crazy leadership in Washington, D.C.Co-sign, Mr. Vice President.

  • On today's show, President Donald Trump's approval rating is down in the dumps.

  • And we get new insight on anonymous bettors profiting from war.

  • But let's start with Russia's war on Ukraine.

  • When he was on the campaign trail,

  • Trump said he'd end the conflict on day one back in office.

  • Which didn't happen.

  • But hope springs eternal for Trump, I guess.

  • Remember back in March of this year,

  • after the start of Trump's war in Iran,

  • when the president told reporters that Russia's war in Ukraine was, quote,

  • very high on his priority list?

  • I thought this was going to be much easier than it is.

  • It's tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky.

  • Tremendous hatred.
