Ukrainecast

Available for over a year

After a Ukrainian government building was damaged in a Russian strike for the first time, Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House that he was ready to implement new sanctions against Moscow. So, what might ‘phase two’ of a US sanctions package look like, and could it impact the Kremlin’s ability to finance its ongoing invasion? To discuss Washington’s options, we’re joined by Stephanie Baker, a senior writer in Bloomberg’s investigations team and author of ‘Punishing Putin: Inside the Global Economic War to Bring Down Russia’. Plus, Mikey Kay from the Security Brief on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ News gives his take on how this latest strike could have happened. Today’s episode is presented by Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko. The producers were Laurie Kalus and Julia Webster. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The social producer was Joe Wilkinson. The series producer is Chris Flynn. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham. Email Ukrainecast@bbc.co.uk with your questions and comments.
