BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukraine tensions: Biden says Russia preparing to invade

President Biden says Russia is planning to attack Ukraine in the coming days.

President Biden says Russia is planning to attack Ukraine in the coming days with the capital city Kyiv a prime target.

US president says he is convinced that Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine. This follows reports of explosions in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine which he said could be a pre-text for invasion. We’ll ask: Has Western diplomacy failed? What will Russia do next?

Also in the programme Canada's Justice Minister and Attorney General, David Lametti on how his government is handling the ongoing protests against mandatory coronavirus vaccinations by  truck drivers. 

 Paul Henley has two guests to discuss topical issues of the day, global security, the crisis in Afghanistan and more: Gwen Hines is the CEO of the British charity, Save the Children and Monika Sus is an assistant professor at the Institute of Political sciences at the Polish Academy of Sciences and fellow at the Centre for International at Security at Hertie School in Berlin.
