Does Zelensky have to go?

Listen & Subscribe

Donald Trump announced last night he is suspending military aid to Ukraine until Zelensky is “ready for peace.” Following this, Vice President J.D. Vance sparked further international outrage in a Fox News interview referring to Britain as “some random country that hasn’t fought a war in thirty or forty years.” Vance has since come out saying that he was not referring to the UK or France in that interview — although critics can’t work out who else he could have been talking about. 

Freddy is joined by The Spectator’s Russia correspondent Owen Matthews to discuss whether the only way for there to be peace in Ukraine is for Zelensky to go, how far China and Russia’s relations have prospered since the war and whether Trump will win a Nobel Peace Prize.
