Show Notes

This week on Battleground Ukraine, Patrick is back and together he and Saul delve into the latest news from Ukraine, starting with a look at the details and implications of the newly signed strategic minerals deal between the US and Ukraine.

They discuss how this agreement aims to incentivise US investment, and the surprising language it uses regarding Russia's aggression. Could this deal be a crucial step towards a broader settlement, or even to Trump turning on the US supplies?

They are also joined by Edward Lucas, Times columnist and security expert with a particular interest in Russia, who shares his analysis of the conflict.
