PUTIN VS THE WEST 9PM, bbc2

Bafta-winning film-maker Norma Percy follows up her 2012 series Putin, Russia And The West with this three-part documentary on how world leaders have struggled to deal with the Russian President since 2014, when the seeds of the current war in Ukraine were sown. This first part takes us back to that year, when Russia annexed Crimea, and Russian-backed separatists waged war in Donbas. David Cameron, Francois Hollande and Petro Poroshenko (the then Prime Minister, French President and Ukrainian President) recall fraught telephone calls and meetings – and bitter divisions among them over how to handle President Putin.
