After two years of leading a country at war, Ukraine's president remains popular. But as support for the fight wavers both inside and outside the country, Volodymyr Zelensky faces a new set of high-stakes challenges.

Today we're joined by Tim Mak, founder of the Kyiv-based publication The Counteroffensive.
