Should Ukraine be more grateful for Western weapons?
UK and US call for more gratitude from Ukraine in return for military aid
Should Ukraine be more grateful to the West for its military and financial support?
After the UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said "people want to see gratitude" from Kyiv, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ security correspondent Gordon Corera and Politico’s Lara Seligman look at the big talking point from this week’s Nato summit β€” and assess whether Ukraine should be pleased or disappointed by the commitments made.
And we hear from Dalia Stasevska, the Ukrainian-Finnish conductor at the first night of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms, about why Russian musicians need to be pressured into using their platforms to criticise the war.
Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Gabriel Gatehouse.
The producers were Arsenii Sokolov, Clare Williamson, Ivana Davidovic and Tom Smithard. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The series producer is Tim Walklate. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
