Episode description

The war in Ukraine has hit the one-thousand-day mark.

On February 24, 2022 – Russia invaded Ukraine – since then, hundreds of thousands of people have died, many more have been injured, and millions are displaced.

It's been called the largest and deadliest in Europe since World War II.

This week, US President Joe Biden gave the green light for Ukraine to strike Russia with US-made, long-range missiles.

It comes just nine weeks before Donald Trump takes office, who on the election trail pledged to put an end to the war.

So, after a thousand days how will these missiles change the war, and what will a Trump peace deal look like?

Today on The Front Page, Waikato University international law professor, Alexander Gillespie, is with us to discuss if there’s an end in sight for the conflict.
