BBC World Service - Weekend, Russian forces continue attacks on Ukraine

Russia inflicts more death and destruction on Ukraine

Russia inflicts more death and destruction on Ukraine.

The Russian army has been inflicting further death and destruction on Ukraine.  But it's meeting resistance in some places.  President Zelensky of Ukraine has strongly criticised NATO for again ruling out a no-fly zone over his country.

Also, the US Secretary of State has denounced what he says is Moscow's increasingly brutal behaviour since its invasion of Ukraine.  Will what's happened prompt another of Russia's neighbours, Finland, to join NATO?

Plus, we hear from Poland, where communities are organising help for refugees, and from an anti-war protester in Moscow.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Jana Puglierin, a German political analyst and head of The European Council on Foreign Relations office in Berlin, and Philippe Sands, a leading international lawyer and professor of law at University College London.
