Trump: 'Now let’s end the Ukraine war' after Gaza triumph & UN convoy attacked by Russian forces in Ukraine

Day 1,329.


Today, as Donald Trump vows to harness the momentum of the Gaza
ceasefire to bring peace to Ukraine, we examine global reaction –
or the striking silence – after a UN convoy was attacked by
Russian forces. Then we assess reports of a possible chemical
weapons attack in Donetsk and take a deep dive into stories
emerging from inside Russia – revealing the cracks in its economy
and the growing strains within its society.
