Revealed: Ukraine told to accept ‘cash-for-land’ deal with Putin
Ukraine: The Latest
Methodology of polling inside Russia
Dr Oleksandr Shulga explains the survey methods and comparability with Russian sociological firms.
Day 1,365.
Today, we examine the proposal that has left Kyiv and Europe reeling: a US peace plan that could force Ukraine to lease part of its territory to Russia, cap the size of its armed forces, and accept a series of concessions that would amount to a major victory for Vladimir Putin. We then hear from a leading pollster about domestic attitudes in Russia towards the war – and what potential tipping points could shift public opinion. Finally, we reflect on the significance of the anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials, and what it means for justice and accountability in today’s conflict – or lack thereof.
