BBC World Service - Weekend, US sends weapons to Ukraine

As US-Russia talks drag on, military support comes to Ukraine

As talks between Russia and the US amount to little more than the promise of continued conversation, military aid has arrived in Kyiv. We’ll go live to Kiev as they prepare for conflict. 

Also in the programme, US talks with Russia over the build up of troops on the Ukraine border have so far resulted in he promise for more discussion. And, a historian specialising in the USSR and Cold War examines what Putin is facing at home. 

To discuss this and more, Rebecca Kesby is joined by Peter Neumann, Professor of Security Studies at Kings College London, and Rosamund Urwin, Media Editor of the Sunday Times newspaper.
