Show Notes
Monday was an extraordinary day of tension and drama as, in a series of televised events, Russian president Vladimir Putin made clear his decision to recognise the independence of two regions of Ukraine that broke away from the Kyiv government in 2014.
Putin's dark reasoning for the move, explained in a lengthy address, raises the very real prospect of further action against Ukraine. Dan McLaughlin reports.
Western allies announced a number of moves in retaliation against Russia, the most significant being the suspension of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project by Germany. Naomi O'Leary explains the implications.
