Ex-US envoy warns of 'new Yalta' backers in Trump admin over Ukraine

Former US Ambassador to Poland Daniel Fried criticizes Trump administration's approach to Moscow as 'foolish and harmful,' alleging internal supporters of a 'new Yalta'—a spheres-of-influence deal over Ukraine. He argues Russia's defeat is in US interest and dismisses the idea of pulling Russia away from China as amateurish. The interview reflects elite foreign-policy dissent but offers no concrete evidence of policy shifts.
