Putin's Terms: NATO Rollback; EU Fights Over Negotiator; Nvidia Spy Story Collapses (Alex Christoforou)

Putin handed Witkoff and Kushner his toughest terms yet in Moscow, demanding NATO return to its 1997 force configuration and warning that any foreign troops in Ukraine would be legitimate targets. Alex breaks down the Ushakov readout, the Konstantinovka challenge to Zelensky, the EU scramble between Macron, Merz, Costa, Stubb and Kaja Kallas to become chief negotiator, and why the Nvidia spy story around Jensen Huang is falling apart, a story. Did Putin ever actually agree to let Europe sit at the table?
