Trump proposes West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine & offers Putin minerals for peace

Day 1,268.

Today, as reports suggest Russian advances near Pokrovsk have “stalled”, we hear the contrasting European and American positions as we approach the summit in Alaska, including suggestions of a new minerals deal for Russia and a ‘West Bank-style occupation of parts of Ukraine’. Then you’ll hear Dom’s dispatch from Odesa, where he joined an anti-aircraft unit shooting down Russian drones.
