Putin's 'Peter the Great' moment & Angela Merkel breaks her silence

Day 107.

Today, we analyse the latest news from Ukraine, discussing the implications made by remarks made by Putin on Thursday, in which the Russian leader drew a comparison between himself and Peter the Great.

Plus, we catch up with Dr Thomas Clausen - a policy advisor for a liberal think tank in Berlin - to discuss Angela Merkel's first interview since leaving office, and the evolving German reaction to the crisis.
