War crime, assassination plot, peace conference

A split-screen moment dominates the news about Ukraine. From Kyiv, President Volodymir Zelensky accuses President Vladimir Putin of yet more war crimes, after a drone attack on a blood transfusion center in the east. And Ukraine’s security services detain a woman suspected of being part of a Russian plot to assassinate Zelensky. While across continents, dozens of nations have just wrapped up a weekend peace conference for Ukraine. Russia was not invited to the event in Saudi Arabia, but China was. It was an important diplomatic coup for Ukraine, which wants to push the Global South into recognising Russia as the aggressor. Christiane discusses this all with Yevgeniya Gaber, a former top foreign policy advisor to Ukraine’s prime minister. 

Also on today's show: Craig Martell, US Defense Department Chief Digital & AI Officer; author Donovan Ramsey; ultra runner Boas Kragtwijk, who's running from Amsterdam to Kyiv to raise money to buy ambulances for Ukraine’s emergency services.
