Talks began today between Russia and Ukraine. Former CIA Covert Operations Officer and CEO of the Global Intelligence Firm, Portman Square Group, Mike Baker, joins to discuss what he expects to come from these future meetings. The Biden Administration has enacted new sanctions against Russia that effectively cut off Americans from doing any business with the Russian Central Bank and freezes its assets within the United States.
