Episode Synopsis

Russia is apparently ready to go to war with Europe, according to its President. Vladimir Putin met with the US negotiators this week for about five hours to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. He has accused European leaders of trying to scupper his peace talks with the US, saying that their tweaks to a plan to end the war were “unacceptable”. The Kremlin has apparently accepted some proposals to end the war, although latest talks haven’t “yielded a breakthrough”. Today on The Front Page, University of Waikato international law professor Al Gillespie is with us to run through what could happen next.
