After President Trump attacked Volodymyr Zelensky as a “dictator” and suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia, Righties in the UK have rushed to back the Ukrainian President.

But notably quiet is Nigel Farage, a close Trump ally who previously drew criticism for saying NATO provoked the Ukraine war and he "admired" Vladimir Putin.

Kamal and Camilla speak to Ukrainian MP and political opponent of Zelensky, Oleksiy Goncharenko, about the reaction in his country to Trump and Zelensky’s war of words and Washington's controversial peace plan.

And as PM Keir Starmer prepares for his Washington visit next week, does he have the strength of character to make it a success?
