BBC World Service - Weekend, Russia continues attacks on Ukrainian cities

Russian forces have continued their multi-pronged attack on Ukrainian cities.

Russian forces have continued their attacks on cities in Ukraine from three fronts, this despite calls by President Volodymyr Zelensky for immediate peace talks.

Also in the programme: A former NATO military commander urges the organisation to be more assertive when dealing with geo-political issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Suzanne Lynch, author of POLITICO’s Brussels Playbook, and Arkady Ostrovsky, Russia and eastern Europe editor for The Economist magazine.
