BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine conflict: Half a million flee

We bring you the latest developments in the Russian invasion of Ukraine

On the fifth day after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, fighting continues while talks are being held between Ukrainian and Russian delegates on the border of Belarus. We bring the latest developments. The UN says more than half a million people have now fled Ukraine for neighbouring countries. 

After the lifting of a weekend curfew, we hear the experiences of people in Kyiv as they are able to go outside, go shopping and check their properties. 

We also hear the stories of African students who have complained of racist treatment as they have attempted to leave Ukraine. Our population correspondent has also been looking at the story and she provides some of the context.

Our correspondent will answer your questions on nuclear weapons after President Putin put his country’s nuclear forces on “special alert”.
