Donald Trump has spent a long time praising him, but now the US president’s view of Vladimir Putin is shifting.

Trump’s high hopes of getting Putin to the negotiating table are fading and Russia has recently launched one of the largest bombardments on Kyiv since the start of the war.

Today, international relations expert Rajan Menon on why Putin is humouring Trump but will never do as he asks and end the war.
