We examine why Vladimir Putin may be running out of volunteers, what a new draft could mean for the war in Ukraine, and why such a move could become one of the biggest political gambles of his presidency. President Trump signals he's open to restoring Turkey's access to the F-35 stealth fighter. We break down why Ankara was expelled from the program in the first place, what's changed, and why the proposal is already raising concerns among some of America's allies. A pair of bombings rocks Damascus during French President Emmanuel Macron's historic visit to Syria. We explain what the attacks reveal about the country's fragile post-Assad transition and why ISIS may be trying to derail Syria's return to the international stage. In today's Back of the Brief: The Pentagon appears to be reversing course on a previously canceled troop deployment to Poland, signaling renewed support for NATO's eastern flank amid continued tensions with Russia.
