BBC World Service - BBC OS, Russia Ukraine crisis: Your questions answered

We answer questions from around the world about the Russia-Ukraine crisis

As fears continue to grow that Moscow is planning to invade Ukraine, we’ll have our BBC Russian colleague and our correspondent in Kyiv explain and answer audience questions about the crisis. You can send in a question via WhatsApp on +447730 751925.

The way that Russian figure skating star, Kamila Valieva, was treated by her coach when she failed to win a medal, has prompted an outcry and debate on skaters’ wellbeing. We’ll speak to a former figure skater and a sport journalist in Russia about methods and training regimes of skating clubs.

We continue to feature the work of journalists in Mexico to hear what it is like to work in one of the most dangerous countries for journalists. Today a journalist in Culiacan, Sinaloa describes the everyday challenges and dangers he faces. 

The WHO has announced that six African countries will be given the MRNA technology to set up their own vaccine production centres in the continent. We'll discuss the significance of the news with our regular expert, Dr Megan Murray from Harvard University.
