Can Starmer save Zelensky from another Oval Office ambush?

The Daily T

About this episode

Following a remarkable summit between the US and Russia in Alaska at the weekend, talks on ending the war in Ukraine continue at pace with a phalanx of European leaders accompanying Volodymyr Zelensky for major discussions with Donald Trump in Washington later today.


Keir Starmer is part of an extraordinary show of support for the Ukrainian president, with fears that Trump is pushing Zelensky to accept the demands Vladimir Putin made in Friday’s Anchorage summit - namely that he wants full control of the Donbas region as part of any peace settlement. 


Camilla and Tim explain what we know about how today’s crucial discussions will play out, what a good outcome looks like for Ukraine, and whether Starmer’s carefully nurtured relationship with Trump could be the key to a positive outcome.
