	Description:		Today, we’re looking ahead to Friday’s meeting in Alaska between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, as Trump hints at a potential land swap to end the war in Ukraine. Trump announced the meeting last Friday, the same day of his self-imposed deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire or else face more US sanctions. Meanwhile, European allies have rallied behind Ukraine in a renewed show of support, insisting that any peace talks with Russia must include Kyiv. Joining Adam to look ahead to the talks are Christopher Steele, the former Head of the Russia desk at MI6, Vitaly Shevchenko from Ukrainecast and Sumi Somaskanda, the BBC’s Chief News Presenter in Washington D.C.
