'No surrender': Zelensky rebukes Trump-Putin peace plan as missiles pummel Ukraine

'No surrender': Zelensky rebukes Trump-Putin peace plan as missiles pummel Ukraine

Day 1,156.

Today, as Kyiv is hit by the deadliest strikes in almost a year, we examine Donald Trump’s attack on President Zelensky having failed to negotiate the peace deal he said would take him only 24 hours. Then we take a deep dive into the Wagner mercenary group with the author of a new book who says Yevgeny Prigozhin’s outfit is the logical outcome when a country contracts its soul to a pitiless militia.
