Listen to the last episode:
This week on Battleground, Patrick and Saul analyse the historic turning point in the Russia-Ukraine war. Following a Trump-Putin phone call, talks have begun between Washington and Moscow. But what concessions is Ukraine expected to make? And what does this mean for European security? We discuss the implications and the reactions, from delight in Moscow to dismay among Ukraine's allies.
