The man who confronted Putin
The man who confronted Putin – John Sweeny, the world-famous Journalist talks to Yvonne Ridley in a special Ukrainian episode of In Conversation.
The investigative journalist has spent the last two decades tracking and monitoring the actions of Russian President Vladamir Putin.
