What if the US pulls out of peace talks? Do other Republicans agree with President Trump’s position on the war? And could Ukraine monetise its drone industry?
Jamie and Vitaly are joined by diplomatic correspondent James Landale and BBC Verify’s Olga Robinson to answer these questions and more on the conflict.
And we check in with friend of the podcast, Vitalii Pashchenko, who got caught up in Russian airstrikes on Kyiv overnight.
Today’s episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko.
The producers were Ben Carter and Laurie Kalus. The technical producer was Jack Graysmark. The series producer is Tim Walklate. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
