War and peace. Russia's full-scale invasion enters its fifth year. The war is a brutal, bloody stalemate, and diplomacy appears deadlocked.

Tonight, President Trump's recent envoy to Ukraine takes us inside the administration's strategy for ending the war.

Explains how we got here and what's ahead. Coming up on Compass Points.

Hello and welcome to Compass Points.

President Trump famously said on the campaign trail that he would end Russia's war against Ukraine on day one of his return to the White House.

Today, the president is 13 months into his second term, and the war is starting its fifth year.

Ukraine is enduring a relentless bombardment, including against its power system during a bitterly cold winter,

basically. He hasn't got to Kiev. He's added two new NATO members, both in Finland and Sweden,

which is pretty good. So his definition of winning is not mine.

Now, and I use this as a data point.

So when the Soviet Union left Afghanistan, they left after losing 18,000.

He's suffered between 1.2 and 1.4 million casualties, dead and wounded.

So I think he's got himself a problem where he can't really get out based on the losses he's taken, the equipment he's taken, and he's driven himself to be,
