Ukraine: The growing refugee crisis

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: The growing refugee crisis

We hear from people in the city of Lviv, hoping to cross over into Poland

Two million refugees have now crossed the border into Poland. We hear from people in the city of Lviv hoping to make that journey.

We are continuing our coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Two million refugees have now crossed the border into Poland since the invasion began. We hear from people in the city of Lviv in Western Ukraine – about 70k from the Polish border - where many arrive before they continue their journey. 

The number of casualties in Russia’s attack on a theatre in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol is still unknown. We speak to our specialists who verify videos and pictures that are circulating online. And we bring more first-hand accounts of life in a country at war and speak to people who have recently managed to leave Mariupol.  
 
And we speak to our colleague who presents a BBC podcast in Russian about the stories he’s had in the podcast during the war.
