Are Trump and Putin about to do a ceasefire deal? | BBC Ukrainecast

Description:

Donald Trump says he plans to meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week, in what would be their first face‑to‑face encounter since 2019. After Washington's deadline for a negotiated ceasefire expired, President Trump also appeared to confirm reports that the US is poised to bilaterally agree a deal allowing Russia to retain the territory it occupies in Ukraine. The Ukrainecast team discuss whether we are closer to a frozen conflict without a political resolution and whether Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine have been kept in the dark. Lucy Hockings hosts the discussion with BBC's Vitaly Shevchenko, Sumi Somaskanda, and Michelle Fleury.
