There's been a skirmish off Crimea, with the Russians detaining Ukrainian sailors amid claims they've violated its sovereignty.
It's just the latest in a long standoff between Russia and Ukraine over the disputed peninsula which Russia claims as its own but which Ukraine believes was annexed illegally.
So what is Vladimir Putin playing at?
And is the west's muted response exactly what he had hoped would happen?
Today on The Signal, we speak with the ABC's chief foreign correspondent Phil Williams, who has been covering Russia's disputes with Ukraine for years.
And we speak with Russia expert at the Australian National University Dr Elizabeth Buchanan to get her take on what exactly Vladimir Putin is up to. |
