BBC World Service - Weekend, Biden's remarks send the White House scrambling

Joe Biden says Putin must not be allowed to remain in power

Joe Biden says Putin must not be allowed to remain in power.

An unscripted remark from President Biden during a speech in Warsaw, saying Vladimir Putin must not be allowed to remain in power, sparks some diplomatic manoeuvres from the White House.  The remarks follow an earlier one in which the US president called Vladimir Putin a "butcher".  We hear reactions from both Ukraine and Russia.

Also, we follow the work of a civilian aerial reconnaissance team in Ukraine.

Plus, given how important Ukraine is in feeding so many countries, what are the dangers of a major food crisis caused by this war?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Viola von Cramon, a German politician for the Green Party and Member of the European Parliament, and Andrey Kurkov, a Ukrainian writer and commentator.
