Tug of war transports listeners to the most volatile corners of the world, where democracy is on the wane. During an ongoing special season, CNN reporters take us to the field in Ukraine to document the Russian invasion, the escalating conflict, and what it means for the rest of the world.
Can the West stop Russia? Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is inspiring unprecedented solidarity among nations around the world. For the first time in history, NATO has activated its military response, and even historically neutral Sweden is imposing sanctions against Russia. Meanwhile, Ukrainian intelligence suggests that Belarus may soon join Russian forces and that China is unwilling to even call the attack an invasion. Jim Sciutto, CNN’s Chief National Security Correspondent, weighs in on the international community’s response to what’s happening in Ukraine and how it could impact our world order.
