About this episode

Headlines: NSW nurses banned from practising anywhere in Australia, Hamas says ceasefire deal back on track, Albo drops strongest hints of a March or April election, and have you woken up single this morning?

Deep Dive: Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours – and he’s well past his own deadline.

The US President now says he’s spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone, and secured an agreement to start negotiating for peace. 

But with neither side so far offering major concessions, almost three years after Russia illegally invaded Ukraine – is ending the war realistic? And are Ukrainians willing to accept peace at the expense of justice?

On this episode of The Briefing, Bension Siebert is joined by Chrestyna Kmetj from the Ukrainian Australian Federation for her reaction to the news.
