  • It's 1240 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

  • And this week delivered the strongest signs yet that Donald Trump has run out of patience with Vladimir Putin.

  • First, the promise to sell more weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies.

  • Then, a new 50-day deadline for peace,

  • reinforced by the threat of secondary tariffs that target countries dealing in Russian oil and gas.

  • And finally, we had reports, and they were sourced on multiple media outlets,

  • of a private call in which Donald Trump asked President Zelensky

  • if he had the capacity to strike Moscow.

  • So will all of this force Russia to the negotiating table,

  • or is the Kremlin safe in the knowledge it has weeks more to wage its war without meaningful consequences?

  • We'll attempt to answer that and plenty more on Ukrainecast.

  • Ukraine cast from BBC News.

  • Life is not safe in Ukraine, nor we're in Ukraine.

  • We've had three years of bloody conflict now.

  • We need to get to that lasting peace.

  • We hope we can finish this war this year.

  • President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into Uncle Sucker.

  • Biden was just enemy.

  • Trump is rival.

  • Ukrainians will pay lives for this decision.
