Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared where Great Minds meet. I'm head of programming Connor Boyle. In our recent episode we spoke with Mark Galliotti about President Trump's attempts to broker peace in Ukraine. Today we continue that conversation with journalist and best-selling author Catherine Belton. Belton explores what Trump's strategy might mean for the future of the West, whether security guarantees can really reign in Moscow, and why sanctions might be more effective than we think.
So without further ado, let's go to the episode. Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared with me, Connor Boyle. Today we're going to be asking the question, can Trump deliver peace in Ukraine? To help us answer that question, we're joined today by Catherine Belton, returning guest. Many of you will be familiar with her, but just a few quick bits about her background.
She's an international investigative reporter for the Washington Post, reporting on Russia and her book. Putin's people, how the KGB took back Russia and then took on the West was the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller and named Best Book of the Year by The Economist, the FT, News Statesman, and the Telegraph. Catherine, thanks so much for joining us today. Thanks for having me. Well, we've seen a lot of political theatre in recent days.
