Ukraine

Rishi Sunak joined leaders of the G7 nations today in agreeing new sanctions against those supporting the Russian war effort. 

We were joined by Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko.

Some parts of Ukraine have suffered much more than Kyiv. 

February the 24th 2022 was Ukraine’s ‘longest day’ President Zelenskyy said today as he marked a year since the Russian invasion of his country. 

This week marks one year since Putin announced Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine – one year since tanks rolled across the border, one year since missiles struck the capital and beyond, one year since the post Cold War world changed forever.

In the past year, cultural institutions have been attacked here in the capital and across Ukraine. 

We spoke to Mariia Mesentyeva, a Ukrainian MP from Kharkiv.

We know there are millions of Ukrainians who fled the country in the past 12 months – and a further seven million are estimated to have been internally displaced.

We spoke to Fiona Hill, senior Russia analyst on the US National Security Council under presidents Bush, Obama and Trump.

On the eve of the first anniversary of the Ukraine war – what is the mood like in the southern city of Kherson?

On the eve of the one-year anniversary of a war that few here thought would start, let alone grind on for so long at such cost, here the morning was interrupted by air raid sirens.

We’re joined in Kyiv by Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Igor Zhovkva.

We’re joined by former Russian Prime Minister, Mikhail Kasyanov.

Hours after Vladimir Putin stepped down from his podium in Moscow, Joe Biden stepped up to his own in Warsaw.

If what we’re witnessing is an irreversible break between Russia and the west, then Vladimir Putin’s message today was: ‘it’s not me, it’s you.’
