They're calling it the battle of Donbas. After nearly two months of mishaps and setbacks, Russia is putting all its might into a bid to capture the entire east of Ukraine. But will it capture it or flatten it? We ask our guests about the Kremlin's endgame and the scramble to re-arm the Ukrainians.
How does the West handle a stymied Vladimir Putin? After last week's sinking of a flagship naval cruiser, he has already extended his bombing campaign to cities like Kyiv and Lviv. What happens if he still doesn't get results? Even Mariupol hasn't completely fallen. Would Putin really be tempted to do what no leader seriously considered during the whole of the Cold War and use tactical nuclear weapons? We put the question to our panel.
