What now for Scotland鈥檚 Ukrainians?

As world powers gather to debate Ukraine's future, the team hears from some of those who came to Scotland after fleeing the war. With Martin Geissler and Laura Miller.

As world powers gather for talks to secure peace in Ukraine (without Ukraine), and Prime Minister Keir Starmer talks of sending British troops there, how do those who have fled the war view their future?

Alona and Iryna, who arrived in Scotland after Russia鈥檚 invasion, tell us they don't know when (or whether) they can return home. And 大象传媒 Ukrainecast presenter Vitaliy Shevchenko reacts to an extraordinary week of news, which included a 90-minute phone call between US President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

And Martin praises David Tennant鈥檚 Sprechgesang effort at the Baftas.
