	Description:		Donald Trump has spent a long time praising him, but now the US president’s view of Vladimir Putin is shifting. Trump’s high hopes of getting Putin to the negotiating table are fading and Russia has recently launched one of the largest bombardments on Kyiv since the start of the war. Now, the end of the war in Ukraine seems as elusive as ever and Trump says Putin is ‘crazy’ and ‘playing with fire’. Today, international relations expert Rajan Menon on why Putin is humouring Trump but will never do as he asks and end the war. Featured: Rajan Menon, professor emeritus of international relations at the City College of New York and senior research scholar at Columbia University
