Journalist and Russia analyst Julia Ioffe lays out how Vladimir Putin might be trying to exploit the current divide between the U.S. and Ukraine over striking Russian oil refineries. STEVE INSKEEP, Julia Ioffe has been listening with us. What does it mean for President Putin to have Trump and Zelenskyy at odds yet again? I think the game from the very beginning of the second Trump administration for both Zelenskyy and Putin has been to show that it's the other guy who's the problem, that it's the other guy who is keeping Donald Trump from attaining his goal of ending the war in Ukraine in the first 24 hours of coming into office. A lot of this is honestly straight out of the Kremlin's playbook, and it's very interesting that, you know, President Trump and Putin spoke on Friday for a long time. IOFFE: I think he fundamentally respects his vision of strength, Putin's version of strength, one that is very aggressive, swings, you know, Russian military might around, starts wars unprovoked.
