Will Trump and Putin Freeze Out Ukraine?

After the US deadline expired for Russia to pause fighting in Ukraine, reports emerged that Trump could use a face-to-face meeting with Putin to agree a ceasefire-for-territory deal.

After the US deadline passed for the Kremlin to agree a ceasefire in Ukraine, Donald Trump is expected to meet Vladimir Putin face-to-face for the first time since 2019.

And has President Zelensky been kept in the dark?

The Ukrainecast team discuss where we stand and what could come next. Lucy Hockings is joined by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Vitaly Shevchenko, Sumi Somaskanda, and Michelle Fleury.
