This week, Patrick Bishop and Saul David tackle the latest Ukraine news starting with a look at Donald Trump's dramatic new deadline for Putin – a mere "ten or 12 days" to achieve peace in Ukraine.

Plus, they get a unique glimpse into the war's human side with Colin Freeman, author of "The Mad and The Brave: The Untold Story of Ukraine’s Foreign Legion." Colin shares his insights into the foreign volunteers fighting on the front lines, including what motivates them and how effective are they for the Ukrainians.
