During the interview, Batsman and Feigin discussed:
- the conflict in the White House between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky;
- the likelihood of a new meeting between Zelensky and Trump;
- the attitude of illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin towards the situation in the White House;
- whether Zelensky insulted Trump;
- the possibility of Ukraine becoming a nuclear power again;
- Europe's future actions;
- potential actions by China amid the discord between Kyiv and Washington;
- Trump's role in pulling Putin out of isolation.
"Ukraine must make it clear that it does not dance to the tune of either Moscow or Washington," Feigin believes.
