Ukrainian President claims Russia is stalling peace talks

Trump is optimistic about Ukraine ceasefire deal but Zelensky warns of Russia's delays

President Trump describes recent Ukraine ceasefire talks with Putin as productive, but the Ukrainian President disagrees. President Zelensky says Russia's response to the talks shows it wants to 'drag out' reaching a truce because it wants the war to continue. Former Commander of the U.S. Army in Europe Ben Hodges shares his insights.

Also in the programme: A London art exhibition, Living between Worlds, explores the anxiety experienced by Ukrainians now living in the UK as the war in their home country continues. And following Friday's swearing-in of the new Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, we hear from Jean Chrétien, former Canadian Liberal Prime minister, who attended the ceremony.

Joining presenter Rebecca Kesby are Scottish journalist Jennifer Stout and Kaya Genc, a Turkish writer and essayist.
