Putin launches huge drone attack after rejecting Trump’s peace deal

Day 1,378.


Today, as the world reacts to the marathon – but ultimately
fruitless – talks in Moscow on Tuesday night, we examine how the
impasse will shape today’s meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers and,
also in Brussels, the European Council’s discussions on frozen
Russian assets and the ‘new era’ the EU says it is entering, free
from Russian fossil fuels. Plus, our Russia expert assesses
Moscow’s ‘caviar diplomacy’ and its growing problems in Africa,
and we report how Australia and New Zealand are stepping up their
support for Ukraine. Finally, we hear the assessment of Ukraine’s
former Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, on the current state of
the war – and whether he harbours any ambition to succeed
President Zelensky.
