He again asks the Russian president for a face-to-face meeting to bring the war to an end. As we record the episode, Putin is set to take the stage in St Petersburg. Then, we discuss China’s increasing involvement enabling the occupation in the occupied territories and how the Ukrainian resistance may have contributed to Ukraine’s successful mid-range campaign.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Contributors:</strong></p><p>Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @adeliepjz on X.</p><p>Dom Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.</p><p>Dr Jade McGlynn (Occupied Territories Expert, King’s College London).</p><p><br></p><p>Producer: Rachel Porter</p><p>Senior Producer: Lilian Fawcett</p><p>Video Producer: Max Bower</p><p>Social Producer: Katie Inglis</p><p>Studio Director: Meghan Searle</p><p>Executive Editor: Francis Dearnley</p><p>Created by David Knowles</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.
