On this episode of The Eastern Front, Dalibor and Iulia welcome Joseph Nye, professor emeritus at Harvard's Kennedy School and pioneer of the theory of soft power to discuss the role of soft power in the context of the war in Ukraine. How should we determine who is winning and who is losing between Russia and Ukraine? Is Russia overperforming in terms of soft power?

Dalibor and Iulia cover what you need to know about Zelenskyy's US visit and recent elections in Europe in their news section. What aspects of the Ukrainian peace plan are the most essential for its success? What do election results in Germany and Austria mean for support for Ukraine?
