312. The Trump-Putin Standoff: Will Sanctions End the War?
About this episode
Join Saul and Patrick as they recap the latest news from Ukraine in what was a rather chaotic week that saw Trump deploy US nuclear submarines after a tense online spat with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
They’ll also analyse why Trump is targeting India with new tariffs, while seemingly avoiding China, and the surprising diplomatic progress made between his envoy and Putin.
Plus, we'll cover the latest battlefield developments, including a successful Ukrainian special forces raid and the fall of Chasiv Yar. Finally, we'll be joined by Hungarian war reporter Boldi Gyori, who will share his firsthand accounts from the frontlines.
