Get an exclusive inside look at the secret negotiations between the U.S. and Russia to end the war in Ukraine. In this episode of Deep Dive, hosts and veteran geopolitical analysts Robert Johnson and Linda Miller decode the high-stakes diplomacy happening behind the scenes.

🌐 Discover the framework for a proposed ceasefire that would freeze the current battle lines and secure territories under Russian control. We unpack the specifics of this controversial agreement being prepared for a pivotal, upcoming meeting between President Putin and President Trump.

🚨 Learn about Putin’s unyielding conditions for peace, including Ukraine’s full withdrawal from key regions and renouncing NATO membership for good. Contrast this with Trump’s aggressive ultimatum approach and a 10-day deadline that has just expired.

📄 We also explore the major legal and diplomatic hurdles, including the ICC arrest warrant for Putin that complicates Rome as a potential meeting venue. What does Ukrainian President Zelensky demand? What is the role of Belarus, China, and India in these talks?
