BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukraine urges Russia to talk

As Russia shifts its focus in the war, Ukraine urges peace talks

As Russia shifts its focus in the war, Ukraine urges peace talks.

President Zelensky of Ukraine urges Russia to engage in meaningful peace talks after a Russian general says his army is shifting the focus of its campaign.  Has the tide of the war turned decisively against Moscow?

Also, we hear from a Russian businessman in London who says that some sanctions targeting oligarchs are unfair.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Joana Ramiro, a British journalist, writer and political commentator; and Ivan Vejvoda, head of the Europe's Futures Programme at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and a former foreign policy adviser to two Serbian prime ministers.
