Ukraine seizes more territory than Moscow in February amid 'extraordinary' Russian casualties & Zelensky offers to save Gulf states – if they stop Putin

Ukraine seizes more territory than Moscow in February amid 'extraordinary' Russian casualties & Zelensky offers to save Gulf states – if they stop Putin

Day 1,468.

Today, as war in the Middle East escalates and Putin attempts to position Russia as a potential peace broker, we examine Zelensky’s claim that if Gulf States pressure Moscow towards a ceasefire in Ukraine, Kyiv could offer air defence support in return. We analyse claims that Ukraine captured more territory in February than Russia, and assess France’s extraordinary shift in its nuclear posture and what it means for European security. Then we bring you a dispatch from Adélie in Irpin, and speak to an elections expert to debate whether Ukraine can realistically hold presidential elections in the event of a ceasefire.
