Why has the Ukraine war fallen from the top of the news agenda?

Amol and Nick on why the Ukraine war has fallen from the top of the news agenda - featuring Yale historian Timothy Snyder.

Ukraine is back in the news with Vladimir Putin holding his first press conference since the outbreak of war. But in the last few weeks the story has fallen from the top of the news agenda – with many of The Today Podcast listeners emailing to ask why.

Amol and Nick explain – and talk to Yale University historian Professor Timothy Snyder, one of the world’s leading experts in Russian and Ukrainian history. He joins them to talk through the danger to the world if Putin prevails.
