Two big stories dealing with foreign affairs are set to consume the Sunday political news shows: the vote in Crimea to secede from Ukraine and the mystery of the missing Malaysian jetliner carrying 239 passengers.
What to do in Ukraine?
Sen. Robert Menendez, R-N.J., and Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., top officials of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will appear on Fox News Sunday to discuss what will happen for Ukraine and the U.S.-Russia relationship if Crimeans vote to join Russia.
Another House heavyweight, Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., will join CBS’ Face the Nation for discussion of the same topic, as well as Tom Donilon, President Barack Obama’s former national security adviser.
Two senators coming back from Ukraine, Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., will be on NBC’s Meet the Press. CNN's State of the Union will have Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who also speaks after spending time in Ukraine.
