Protracted War In Ukraine, Dim Prospects For Peace Talks

The war in Ukraine is entering its 50th day, with no sign of a ceasefire or resolution in sight. Russian forces are regrouping for a renewed offensive in the south-eastern Donbas region, after withdrawing from Kyiv and north-western areas. The prospects of a breakthrough in peace negotiations have also appeared to dissipate, after President Vladimir Putin declared that peace talks were dead in a local press conference this week. We discuss the latest developments on the battlefront with Prof. Rouben Azizian of the Centre for Defence and Security Studies. Image Credit: EPA-EFE
