Ukraine: Russian paratroopers attack Kherson

BBC World Service - Newsday, Ukraine: Russian paratroopers attack Kherson

Russian troops are reported to have taken control of the Ukrainian port city of Kherson

Ukraine: Russian troops are reported to have taken control of the southern port city of Kherson.

Fighting continues with Kherson in the south falling to Russian forces, and reports of paratroopers in Kharkiv. 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has forced many nations to look closely at their loyalties and interests - we look at Georgia, a country where the government is wary of criticising Russia but popular opinion is more blunt.

International sanctions have triggered a steep fall in the value of the Russian currency, and a surge in oil prices.
