Taking on Putin with John Sweeney

18-05-2022 • 41 mins

John Sweeney has been on Vladimir Putin's case for over twenty years. He's back in the UK after nearly three months in Kyiv reporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This episode John revisits a war-like act by Russian operatives on British soil - using a banned nerve agent to try to kill a former Russian spy. John asks why the British response to the attack was so muted.

Taking On Putin is funded by you - the listener. You can support the podcast on Crowdfunder.
