BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukraine: Russia attacks oil and gas facilities

Russian missiles hit an oil depot in Vasylkiv, prompting fear of toxic fumes.

Russian forces have targeted Ukranian oil and gas facilities in different parts of the country, as the war entered a fourth day. A Russian rocket hit an oil terminal in Vasylkiv, thirty kilometres southwest of the capital, Kyiv. In the east, invading Russian forces blew up a natural gas pipeline in Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv.

Also in the programme: Analysis on why Russian president Vladimir Putin launched the war against Ukraine. 

Anna Holligan is joined by two guests to discuss the unfolding war in Ukraine and other topical news stories: Olga Oliker is the Program Director, Europe and Central Asia for the International Crisis Group and Orysia Lutsevych, the Head of Ukraine Forum, Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House.
