The US and Russia face off over the future of Ukraine

The world is pre-occupied with the Covid Omicron explosion, but a huge story is playing out in a standoff between Russia and the United States over the Ukraine. 100,000 Russian troops have massed at the Russia/Ukraine border – and the world is nervously watching, waiting for Vladimir Putin’s next move.

Adam Creighton, the Australian newspaper’s US correspondent talks us through the developments of the week; and Elizaveta Isakova, a Geneva-based correspondent for the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, says she doesn’t sense an appetite for war in the Kremlin.

Talks this week between the US and Russia over the future of the Ukraine, could shape the future of Europe for a generation. It’s clearly one of the biggest stories in the world.
