Col. Wilkerson on F-16 jets and diminishing public opinion in support of Ukraine

In this episode of The Source, we speak with Lawrence Wilkerson, retired Army Colonel and former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, about the latest developments related to the war in Ukraine. We assess Ukraine's recent counteroffensive and whether the recent U.S. decision to send in F-16 fighter jets will swing the war in Ukraine's favor. We also evaluate the recent CNN poll showing that a majority of Americans oppose their government's continued military and financial support for Ukraine. Finally, we explore the significance of a senior NATO official's statement that Ukraine would have to cede territory in exchange for NATO membership as a possible peace scenario.
