  • Summary

  • 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’s invasion, tell us they don't know when (or whether) they can return home. And BBC 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’s Sprechgesang effort at the Baftas.

    Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
