BBC World Service - Weekend, Ex-Ukrainian diplomat on need to stand up to Putin

Ukraine's former ambassador to Germany says Berlin should take a tough stance with Putin

Ukraine's former ambassador to Germany says Berlin should take a tough stance with Putin.

The former Ukrainian ambassador to Germany tells the BBC that Germans need to stand firm against Russia, despite rising energy costs.

Also, Kosovo's president tells us Serbia is to blame for rising tension in the Balkans.

Plus, after Kansas voted to protect abortion rights this week, we hear from California, where neither side is backing down.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Eunice Goes, Portuguese-born professor of Politics at Richmond University here in the UK; and Bulama Bukarti, Nigerian analyst and senior fellow on Sub-Saharan Africa at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, here in London.
