On this episode of Peace and Power Ukraine, host Gary Marx is joined by policy expert and veteran broadcaster Andrew Langer, president of the Institute for Liberty. As Russia signals a shift toward new peace negotiations in London, Langer offers deep analysis on what’s driving Vladimir Putin’s strategic moves—from Easter ceasefires to rare earth mineral deals. The two dive into Ukraine's pivotal role in global energy and security, explore the evolving U.S.-Russia relationship under President Trump, and examine what the rumored mineral rights agreement could mean for Zelensky, NATO, and America’s future foreign policy. Langer brings over 25 years of free market and limited government experience to the table, with insights on Capitol Hill's stance, Secretary Rubio's diplomatic posture, and the economic strain mounting in Russia. This is a powerful conversation about negotiation, deterrence, and the high-stakes politics shaping peace in Ukraine.
