We are delighted to invite you to a talk by BBC Panorama reporter John Sweeney about his film, Putin’s Gamble, which set out the evidence that the Russian army tipped the balance in the war in Ukraine and that the BUK crew who shot down MH17 were from the Russian army. During the BBC Panorama programme, which was aired on BBC1 prime time last month, John Sweeney doorstepped Russian President, Vladimir Putin, asking him whether he “regrets the killings in Ukraine”.
This event will be held in English.
