How far will Western allies go to stop the war in Ukraine and contain Russian aggression?

President Biden traveled to Europe this week for a series of emergency summits with NATO, the G7, and the European Union. The trip comes as Russian advances falter, and concerns grow that Russian President Vladimir Putin may turn to unconventional weapons to regain momentum.

On the agenda are military aid, increased sanctions, and how to support the millions of Ukrainian refugees fleeing violence in their country.

James Kitfield is a veteran national security and foreign affairs reporter and senior fellow at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress. He joined Diane to discuss what Western allies can do to stop the devastation in Ukraine without provoking a wider conflict with Russia.
