The United States have decided to buy diesel from Putin in a bid to ease fuel prices - much to the disappointment of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose country will suffer from boosted Russian coffers.
00:00 Ali Miraj argues that Europe’s continued purchases of Russian energy means they would be 'hypocritical' to complain about President Trump's decision.
03:52 Caller Chris disagrees with the premise of the phone-in, imploring Ali to address Vladimir Putin’s war crimes.
08:34 Caller David says US purchases of Russian oil are too small to meaningfully help American consumers.
12:06 Caller John says the idea of Trump being described as honest is “quite laughable”.
16:21 Caller Robert points out that conflicts end either through victory or a peace agreement.
20:45 Ali responds to accusations from LBC listeners that he is a “Putin apologist”.
22:19 Caller Colin believes Trump is lying about fuel prices and blames his actions in Iran for rising costs.
27:35 Caller Ian says both Russia and Ukraine are deeply corrupt, but agrees Europe “wants its cake and eat it too”.
32:03 Caller Alex warns of wider Russian expansionism.
35:16 Caller Chris backs Ali, saying European governments are pursuing their own interests while condemning Trump.
38:10 Caller Beryl insists that Trump should not be negotiating with Putin.
