Jim Jatras, former US diplomat, and former senior foreign policy advisor to the Senate Republican Leadership joins the show to talk about the latest developments in Eastern Europe. The US is signaling that it might be ready to apply more pressure to NATO ally Turkey - Washington has apparently just warned Turkish companies that they might be sanctioned for their ongoing dealings with Russia. Regarding Ukraine, the EU is discussing more military training for Ukrainian forces, and in the US we have questions being raised about whether Washington is giving Kiev more different types of weapons than we’ve been letting on. In Zaporozhye both sides of the Ukraine conflict continue to accuse each other of creating a crisis, but we may be closer to the arrival of inspectors, which might calm things down
