There was widespread surprise at the UN General Assembly this week, when Donald Trump appeared to drastically alter his tone on the war in Ukraine. His new insistence that Ukraine could win back all of its territory on the battlefield marks a significant departure from what has become the consensus view among military observers, and President Zelensky welcomed his comments as a "big shift". So, even as Russia dismisses the claims as "erroneous", could this change of rhetoric lead to a policy reset from the United States in its response to the conflict?
This week, Lucy and Vitaly are joined by the BBC's Europe Digital Editor, Paul Kirby, to answer your questions. They discuss whether this is an opportunity for Kyiv to reclaim international attention, after repeated Russian incursions of Nato airspace forced allies to focus on the defence of their own borders.
Today’s episode is presented by Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko.
