Russian threat ‘far from over’

Putin has said Russia is pulling back some of its troops.

In an address to the American people last night, President Biden said that a Russian attack on Ukraine is "still very much a possibility" and the human cost would be "immense". He concluded “If we do not stand for freedom where it is at risk today, we’ll surely pay a steeper price tomorrow”. This is despite Russia saying it’s pulling back some of its troops from the Ukrainian border. Today’s Justin Webb speaks to Sir John Sawers, the former head of MI6.
