As Hungarians confront a potential new political era, we examine whether real change is coming in Budapest – and how the European Union will handle the unresolved вопрос of the €90 billion loan for Ukraine. We also assess how much fighting actually paused during the Orthodox Easter ceasefire in Russia’s war against Ukraine, and ask whether Vladimir Putin is ultimately a winner or loser from the recent global attacks on oil infrastructure.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Contributors:</strong></p><p>Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.</p><p>Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.</p><p>James Crisp&nbsp;(Europe Editor). @JamesCrisp6 on X.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS &amp; BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:</strong></p><p>Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
