It's been 4 years since the illegal, full scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

However, since the election of Trump in 2024, there has been a push for peace from Ukraine's previously biggest contributor of weapons.

To say the path to peace hasn't been smooth is an understatement.

Our hosts talk to Tetiana Toma, a Ukrainian writer for Kent & Surrey Bylines, about what the situation is, what's being negotiated, what a post war Europe should look like, and how close to peace Ukraine really is.
