Q&A: Zelensky is afraid, Russian billionaires and Europe’s strongest army
Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of attempting to stall peace talks this week, after Kremlin discussions with US diplomats ended without significant progress. The Ukrainian president said Moscow is hoping Donald Trump will lose interest in resolving the conflict, if the latest uptick in American-led diplomacy fails to deliver a decisive outcome quickly.
Lucy and Vitaly are joined in the studio by the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale, and senior digital journalist Laura Gozzi. As Vladimir Putin arrives in India, and US special envoy Steve Witkoff returns to Florida to meet Ukrainian negotiators, the team answer your questions on the current diplomatic outlook and plenty more.
Which country boasts Europe's strongest military? How are Ukrainian farmers coping in wartime? And does a record number of Russian billionaires show oligarchs are thriving despite international sanctions?
Today’s episode is presented by Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko.
The producer was Laurie Kalus. The technical producer was Ben Andrews. The social producer was Sophie Millward. The executive producer was Chris Gray. The series producer is Chris Flynn. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
