As high-stakes war discussions unravel, United States unique agent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, are fulfilling Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow today, where the Kremlin insists it is open to peace talks but keeps its war goals need to still be fulfilled, casting doubt on its determination to end the conflict. Ahead of the meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky talked with leaders of the UK and France, along with Witkoff, and is now in Dublin for profession and safety talks with Irish officials. On the other hand, on the battleground, Russia declares to have actually confiscated the calculated eastern city of Pokrovsk, a declaration Ukraine has rejected as political posturing aimed at forming the arrangements. Professor of International Politics at Clinton Institute, University College Dublin, Scott Lucas joins us for even more.
