Ladimir putin has never got over the collapse of the soviet union. He's getting on in age, and i think he wants to create a legacy among his own circle by conquering a ukraine. His game is to redraw the security interes structure of eastern europe. The west must do everything possible to give ukrane the resources to push them back.
Is the West doing enough to help Ukraine? What kind of endgame should Ukraine be seeking – all-out victory over Russia or a negotiated settlement that will allow both sides to claim they have won?

Kira Rudik is the MP who went viral on Instagram when she posted a photo of herself wielding a Kalashnikov and urging her fellow citizens to take up arms against the Russian invaders; Michael Bociurkiw, geopolitical analyst and humanitarian; and Olha Poliukhovych, a cultural historian and academic based in Kyiv. This discussion is hosted by broadcaster and academic Philippa Thomas.
