Inside Russia: Putin’s war, three years on

The Global Story

Available for over a year

What have Russians won and lost during the conflict in Ukraine? Three years after the start of its full-scale invasion, Russia has entered talks with Donald Trump – and not Kyiv – about ending the war. For Vladimir Putin, this could be a chance to end the conflict on his terms, and forge a new international order with Russia and the US at its centre. But what about the people who live under Putin’s rule? What do Russians stand to gain from these talks? On this episode, presenter Lucy Hockings is joined by the BBC’s Russia editor Steve Rosenberg.
