Trump to let Putin keep land seized from Ukraine & huge explosion destroys ammunition dump outside Moscow

Day 1,155.

Is the US stepping back from the negotiation table? Plus, we launch a brand-new segment focusing on Russia’s domestic front and explore how the ongoing war is reshaping Central Asia’s political and economic landscape.
