How volatile is Bangladesh's political situation?

US President Donald Trump has announced a deal to bring Russian diesel into the United States, a move welcomed by the Kremlin. He's accused Ukraine of ignoring his calls to halt strikes on Russian refineries. Ukraine insists it will only stop striking Russian refineries if Moscow ceases attacks on its energy facilities. With Washington and Europe diverging further on Ukraine, how long can European leaders continue their economic and military support for Kyiv?

In this episode:


Lisa Yasko, Member of the Ukrainian Parliament


Andrey Kortunov, Russian affairs analyst


John Lough, Head of Foreign Policy at the New Eurasian Strategies Centre
