Jimmy Rushton: Foreign Policy Analyst on the potential meeting between Trump and Putin - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The prospects of a meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin may be crumbling faster than they've formed.  

The Kremlin says the US President and his Russian counterpart have agreed to meet in the "coming days".  

But the New York Post is quoting Trump's officials, saying this is not the case.  

Foreign Policy Analyst Jimmy Rushton told Mike Hosking Putin is burning through astonishing amounts of manpower for relatively little strategic progress.   

He says Putin thinks he can outlast the West, but Ukraine would rather fight than accept poor peace terms. 

Rushton says many people have taken what Moscow's selling and run with it, and it shows desperation from the Kremlin for it to pretend it is ready for peace.
