Ukraine war: Are we inching closer to peace?
Wednesday 23 April 2025 17:32, UK
Delegations arrived in London on Wednesday for talks on a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine after the discussions were downgraded from the very highest level.
Officials, including the US secretary of state Marco Rubio and the UK's foreign secretary David Lammy, had been expected to attend, but that's now not happening.
The downgrading in the level of diplomacy is in contrast with an intensification in the pressure from Donald Trump on Moscow and Kyiv to agree a ceasefire. So, what's going on? Is a peace deal inching closer or moving further away?
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to Sky's military analyst Michael Clarke to find out.
