Kyiv may be a city of blackouts and bomb shelters, but its comedians have found a fresh lease of life. Comedy clubs have taken off since the invasion with citizens seking solace in dark humour and the company of their compatriots.

Also, the BBC’s Russia editor, Steve Rosenberg, gives his reflections on how the country is being changed by the war into something no longer recognisable to the one he knew a decade ago.

And, the criticisms of Vitaly’s Kutia recipe just keep in coming in. Will it never stop?

Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.
