Putin vs the West

When Vladimir Putin's Russian forces first attacked Ukraine in 2014, Europe's leaders clashed over how to stop him. When he spied division in the West, the Russian President pressed home his advantage. As this thrilling documentary illustrates, Putin was able to exploit a power vacuum and make his most audacious move to date: sending troops into Crimea.

As the uprisings of the Arab Spring tore through the Middle East, Western leaders attempted to enlist Putin as a peacemaker. But, as this compelling political documentary shows, the Russian President was able to use this to his advantage. Exploiting the West's inaction, he revealed just how far he was willing to go to keep his allies in power.

From an audacious poisoning to the moment he launched an invasion that threatened to engulf Europe, Putin has continued to ramp up his aggression. As this fascinating documentary concludes, leaders including Boris Johnson, Theresa May and Volodymyr Zelensky discuss how they confronted Putin and maneuvered to try and prevent his invasion of Ukraine. How will the West now respond?

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine stuns the world. World leaders scramble to make an adequate response. Too little will seem weak. Too much could trigger World War III. This current affairs documentary goes behind the scenes and talks to the world leaders reacting to Russia’s actions. A few months into the war, the West is delivering more weapons to Ukraine, but Putin only looks to be digging in.
