Teacher, Anna Ohoiko, joins us to give listeners - and Victoria - a lesson in the Ukrainian language.

The BBC’s diplomatic correspondent James Landale is in Kyiv and tells us that Ukrainians are beginning to question whether to stay and fight in Bakhmut, or retreat and regroup. And he tells us about a new bar that’s opened in Kyiv as people show their determination to keep living.

And who is the Russian Volunteer Corps? BBC Russia’s Liza Fokht tries to shed some light on the Russian group fighting Putin.

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