Ukraine war: UK claims Russia is using thermobaric weapons

BBC World Service - Newsday, Ukraine war: UK claims Russia is using thermobaric weapons

Russia has not confirmed using high temperature explosions in Ukraine

The British government says that Russia has confirmed using high temperature explosions in Ukraine but there's no word from Russia on the claim.

The UK has accused Russia of using thermobaric weapons in Ukraine - we explain what these devastating weapons are and if this is a sign that Russia is willing to escalate the conflict. 

Moscow has implemented strict measures to control what can be reported in Russia - the BBC and other news organisations operating there can no longer report freely - but many citizens are happy with the war.

As millions of people make desperate journeys across Europe to escape the fighting in Ukraine, we hear the story of one medical student who escaped from the besieged city of Sumy.
