Welcome to the world in 10 in an increasingly uncertain world.
This is the Times daily podcast dedicated to global security.
I'm Alex Dibble and I executive produce the podcast.
The World in 10 is partnered with Frontline, the interview series from Times radio, available on YouTube with expert analysis of the world's conflicts.
At the weekend, we bring you Frontline interviews in full.
Here's one from this week.
I hope you find it interesting.
Hello and welcome to Frontline.
For Times Radio, I'm James Hansen.
And today we're talking about the latest on the war in Ukraine.
And we're delighted to be joined by General Finip Breedlove, a highly decorated four star general who served for 39 years.
He was commander of US European Command as well as Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO Allied Command Operations.
General Breedlove, it's always a pleasure.
Welcome back to Frontline.
It's good to be back.
Now, first of all, we can't ignore the fact that we're recording this less than a week until Donald Trump's second inauguration as president.
I suppose the million dollar question at the moment is how the Trump administration will approach the war in Ukraine.
A lot of people have seized on his previous comments that he can deliver some kind of peace agreement.
He once famously said in a day, I think most people agree that's not realistic.
But do you think it is realistic that the Trump administration will be able to produce some kind of ceasefire agreement in its first few months?
