UK accuses Russia of plans to install new Ukraine leader

BBC World Service - Weekend, UK accuses Russia of plans to install new Ukraine leader

The UK has accused the Kremlin of planning to install a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine

The UK’s foreign minister, Liz Truss, has accused the Kremlin of plans to install a pro-Russia leadership in Ukraine. Also on the programme, is Jamie Dornan too handsome, too stylish, for his role in Kenneth Branagh’s depiction of working class Belfast? A former Hollywood casting director examines the virtues and perils of glamour on screen. 

To discuss these issues and more, Rebecca Kesby is joined by Cecile Alduy, professor of French literature and culture at Stanford University, and Oliver Bullough a British journalist and former correspondent in Russia.
