Can Trump Force Zelensky To Do A Deal?

Today, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to accuse Zelensky of harming Ukraine peace negotiations following the Ukrainian president telling a news conference he would not recognise Crimea as Russian.

Adam is joined by James Landale, diplomatic correspondent, and Sumi Somaskanda, BBC News Chief Presenter in Washington, to pick over what we know - and what we don’t - about Donald Trump’s proposed deal. Plus, why peace talks in London have fallen flat after US officials pulled out.
