Q&A: Could Ukraine hold wartime elections?


Listen Later

After a week in which Donald Trump called European leaders "weak" and questioned Ukraine's commitment to democracy, we look at whether his views are becoming more aligned with the Kremlin's. And as America pushes for a Christmas truce, the team discuss Europe's chances of getting the US president more on side.

To answer your questions, Jamie and Vitaly are joined by BBC Verify's Olga Robinson and Russia editor Steve Rosenberg. Could Ukraine really hold wartime elections? Have any western assets been frozen by Moscow? And will Russia ever pay reparations for its invasion?

Today’s episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko.

The producers were Laurie Kalus and Julia Webster. The technical producer was Philip Bull. The series producer is Chris Flynn. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
