This week key Trump advisors revealed that if the Donald becomes president, he will threaten to cut weapons supplies to Ukraine as part of a plan to end the war. Meanwhile in Britain, Nigel Farage has doubled down on his comments after saying that the ‘ever-eastward expansion of NATO and the EU ‘ had given Vladimir Putin a reason to justify his invasion of Ukraine, by adding that he was "sceptical" that Ukraine could ever win the war. Patrick and Saul discuss what this means for the war in Ukraine and they answer your questions.

Saul also speaks to Colonel James Thurstan who has been commanding Operation Interflex, the UK-led training programme for Ukrainian infantry soldiers.
