About This Episode

Last weekend, Ukraine held its first peace summit with an aim of presenting a peace plan between Ukraine and Russia. More than 100 countries and international organizations were present, but despite strong support from the West, Russia and China were absent, and key global powers refused to sign the Ukraine peace document. Then, Putin’s visit to North Korea resulted in a new mutual defense pact between the two countries. Plus, a look at Trump’s foreign policy. Steven Erlanger, Ken Moriyasu, and Nahal Toosi, join World Review with Ivo Daalder to examine these issues.
