James, you’ve got to listen to the piece about someone‘s experience of Gaza leaving Gaza to come to London, on Radio4 now. 4 Months in Gaza, 9.00am 10/12/25.

Zelenskyy is only being positive to the "peace" plan because he knows the Russians will say no, and he needs Trump's good will to get intel and guns. Russians like the peace process because they use it to stall western support for Ukraine so that Ukraine will be easier to destroy later.
