Hi! Simon Shuster came out with
a book early this year on Zelensky in which the chronology ends in Dec. 22, a decidedly high point for Ukraine as it had just taken back Kherson and the West was eager to keep sending Zelensky all the weapons it had in its stockpiles. A lot has happened since then, which prompted Shuster to write a much less flattering piece about his subject for
TIME in Oct. 2023, where he quoted members of his inner circle saying Zelensky was acting "deluded" and isolated from the battlefield realities.
I'll be joining my colleague Mark Episkopos today at 3PM EST to interview Shuster about his book and how Zelensky is handling today's moment. Please join us!
best
