Ukraine rejects Putin’s ceasefire proposal ahead of Swiss peace talks.

It’s been a busy week for President Zelensky. At the G7 meeting in Italy, world leaders agreed on a $50bn loan to help fund Ukraine’s war effort and a ten year bi-lateral security agreement was signed between the US and Ukraine. All this before President Zelensky heads to Switzerland for a Ukrainian Peace Summit. Meanwhile, President Putin has proposed his own ceasefire plan which Ukraine has rejected.

The BBC’s diplomatic correspondent James Landale and security correspondent Frank Gardner reflect on what has been agreed so far and what progress could be made this weekend.

Today’s episode is presented by Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko. It was produced by Clare Williamson with Bella Saltiel and Natasha Mayo. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The series producer is Tim Walklate. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
