Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the spectator's daily politics podcast.

I'm Cindy Yu and this is a Sunday roundup.

Trump launched extraordinary attacks on President Zelensky this week,

describing him as a dictator

and sidelining Ukraine in his peace negotiations with Putin. In anticipation of a crucial meeting

with Trump next week, Kirstama has insisted that Ukraine must be at the heart of any negotiations.

And the UK has also announced new Russian sanctions. On Sky News this morning, Education Secretary Bridget Philipson confirmed that defence spending

in the UK will be raised 2.5% of GDP, although she gave no timeline on when that might be achieved.

Philipson said the UK would bear down as hard as we can on Russia,

but also welcomed Trump bringing Putin to the negotiations.

The Foreign Secretary apparently is going to say that you're doubling down on sanctions

on Russia as Mr. Trump, just the same time Mr. Trump gets a bit closer to Mr. Putin.

Is this a clever move at this week to be in a situation where actually you're getting in between Mr Putin and

Mr. Trump? So the Foreign Secretary will be setting out more on Monday in terms of the extent of the

sanctions. This is a significant package and he will be setting out more detail on this.

This is of course about Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine,

but this is also about our domestic security too,

because we have seen the impact of Russian aggression here in the UK.

We saw the poisonings, of course, in Salisbury.

We also see continued aggression by the Russian armed forces around our shores.

It is why, again, we are investing in defence.

But I do think it's right that we make absolutely clear where responsibility lies for the conflict and the actions that we as the government will take to make sure we bear down as hard
