Plus: the bizarre history of free plastic surgery for prisoners.
| | | | As we look on in horror at the situation unfolding in Ukraine, many are wondering how we got to this point.
We've brought in experts to help make sense of it.
Former NATO planning advisor Fabrice Pouthier told RN Drive's Andy Park the West's response has been "too little, too late".
RN Breakfast spoke with Julie Bishop, who was Australia's Foreign Minister when a Russian missile downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine, killing hundreds. She explained to Patricia Karvelas what Russia's capture of Chernobyl could mean for the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, Late Night Live heard from Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk about the people living on the frontline. Weary from eight years of conflict, they say that war "is not an apocalypse but an ugly routine".
Prior to the invasion, Rear Vision looked at the role NATO has played in the crisis, while Saturday Extra offered a history lesson on why Russia can't accept Ukraine's sovereignty.
Closer to home, could the fallout affect Australia's election? ABC Foreign Affairs reporter Stephen Dziedzic joined PK and David Speers on The Party Room to give his analysis.
We'll continue to bring you insightful analysis and up-to-date reporting on the situation across the weekend.
Until next week,
Annika Blau, RN digital editor
