This BBC World Service news podcast covers the resumption of US intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine following a proposed 30-day ceasefire. The podcast features reports from Saudi Arabia on the negotiations, reactions from Ukrainian officials expressing cautious optimism but continued distrust of Russia, and analysis of Russia's muted official response contrasted with continued drone attacks in Ukraine. A key takeaway is the significant impact of the resumed aid on Ukraine's ability to fight, described as restoring "life support." The podcast also briefly touches on other news, including a train hijacking in Pakistan and a successful early safety trial for a yearly HIV injection.
