Peace talks end in ‘acrimony’ after just two hours & Ukraine recaptures ‘most land since summer 2023’

Peace talks end in ‘acrimony’ after just two hours & Ukraine recaptures ‘most land since summer 2023’

Day 1,455.

Today, as the latest round of Ukraine-US-Russia peace talks in Geneva collapse after just two hours, we speak to our correspondent in Switzerland to understand what went wrong between Kyiv, Moscow and Washington. We examine why the International Paralympic Committee has decided to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete at the Winter Olympics under their national flags, and what that means for sporting sanctions linked to Putin’s war in Ukraine. Plus, our resident Russia-watcher breaks down the latest political manoeuvring inside the Kremlin.
