Can Ukraine capitalise on turmoil in Russia?

Russia’s war in Ukraine has entered its 17th month. But a week on from the Wagner insurrection, many are asking if Kyiv can capitalise on uncertainty in Russia.

On this edition of Weekend, we hear from Russian historian and cultural scientist Alexander Etkind on his vision on the outcome of the war.

Also in the programme: We get the latest on the riots in France. More than 700 people were arrested following unrest again on Saturday night. It is in response to the killing by police of a teenager of North African origin on Tuesday.

And we hear from scientists concerned about the rapid die-off of black sea urchins in the Red Sea.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Amie Ferris Rotman, Global News Editor for New Lines Magazine - an online magazine; and Aanu Adeoye, West Africa correspondent Financial Times newspaper.
