Hosted by John Beauchamp with Jarosław Kociszewski, senior foreign correspondent at Polish Radio, and Polish Radio Ukrainian Section’s Olena Babakova.

Earlier this week British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the UK will be sending some military advisers to Ukraine. This came off the back of a damning House of Lords report which stated that the UK has “sleepwalked” into the Ukraine crisis.

Back in Poland, Defence Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said that Poland will be sending soldiers to train Ukrainian NCOs, making this announcement after a tweet from General Bogusław Pacek - who is in charge of the training programme - that “Ukraine’s Defence Ministry turned to NATO countries with a plea to help train its soldiers,” adding that “Poland will respond affirmatively.”
