The US president announces plans, along with other G7 nations, to increase tariffs on more Russian goods by removing the country's 'most favoured nation' status within the World Trade Organisation schedules. Plus we look at the role of foreign mercenaries in the war in Ukraine with defence analyst Jonathan Marcos. We consider the importance of Russia and Ukraine's food production to the global food chain with Arnaud Petit, director of the International Grains Council. And we get a Russian perspective on the events of the last two weeks from Andrei Kolesnikov, who is chair of the Russian Domestic Politics and Political Institutions Program at the Carnegie Moscow Center. The programme is presented by David Harper and produced by Russell Newlove.
