CrossTalk is a TV debate experience which presents hot-topic discussions on politics, business, newsmakers, global trends, present-day conflicts, and dangers and challenges facing our world. Host Peter Lavelle poses hard, straightforward questions to his guests, and demands concrete answers in response.
No deal
A breakthrough toward peace in Ukraine still is not on the horizon. The Witkoff delegation to Moscow was pleasantly received and listened to, whereas the Europeans fume over their exclusion. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s military fortunes on the battlefield suffer and escalation remains possible.
CrossTalking with Michael Rossi, Jan Oberg, and Stanislav Krapivnik.
Diplomatic dance
No one ever said it would be easy to end the Ukraine conflict. Particularly since the Ukrainians and the Europeans are determined to continue the war. With so much resistance in the West, it is overlooked that Russia still has the option of winning on the battlefield. CrossTalking with Marko Gasic, Eike Hamer, and Johnny Miller.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Kiev in crisis
With the frontlines collapsing, domestic political insecurity and claims of massive corruption at the highest level, the Kiev regime is on unsteady ground. Its survival is in question. Add to this the struggle to make peace or continue the war. Can Zelensky survive all this? CrossTalking with Patrick Henningsen and Tarik Cyril Amar.
‘Megaphone diplomacy’
To win in geopolitics, you need a good strategy and ample material assets to back up that strategy. This is how Russia is conducting itself when it comes to the Ukraine conflict. The Europeans prefer ‘megaphone diplomacy.’ They are acting more like spoilers than constructive players. This will not bring peace. CrossTalking with Pierre Emmanuel Thomann and Mats Nilsson.
Peacefire
As expected, the Europeans and Ukraine have rejected Trump’s plan to end the war. They say they have their own ideas – not to end the conflict, but to keep it going. Rejecting the peace process means only one thing – more escalation. CrossTalking with Alex Krainer, Patrick Henningsen, and Matthew Ehret.
CrossTalk Bullhorns | 28-Point plan
Is the end near? Is the Ukraine Project about to be wrapped up? Trump’s 28-point peace plan appears to force an outcome. Losing on the battlefield and with growing political insecurity at home, the Zelensky regime may have no choice but to fold. CrossTalking with Tarik Cyril Amar and Aleksandar Pavic.
