After Vladimir Putin’s limited ‘Easter truce’ ended, we’re joined by the BBC’s Russia editor, Steve Rosenberg, to discuss whether the Kremlin is serious about bilateral negotiations with Ukraine.
And we talk to Alexander Vindman - the former US National Security Council official, who was a star witness in Donald Trump’s first impeachment inquiry. He has a lot to say about US policy on Ukraine and what the future could look like if Washington pulls out of peace talks.
Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.
The producers were Laurie Kalus and Ben Carter. The technical producer was Jonny Hall. The editor is Max Deveson. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
