Air raid inferno ends Easter 'truce' & Trump hopes to end war 'this week'

Air raid inferno ends Easter 'truce' & Trump hopes to end war 'this week'

Day 1,154.

Today, we ask how meaningful the weekend’s so-called ‘Easter truce’ really was, look at the new American peace proposals put to Kyiv and its allies – which include major concessions both in territory and sovereignty – then reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis in relation to the war. Later, we hear about a new book investigating Russian spies who spent decades undercover: what does it teach us about modern spycraft?
