BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: Attack on Mariupol hospital

Ukraine says a maternity ward and a children's ward have been destroyed in Mariupol

Ukraine says Russian forces have bombed a maternity and children's hospital in the southern port city of Mariupol -- there are reports of many fatalities. We get updates on the fighting and on the efforts to free people from Ukraine's besieged cities. 

Russia and Ukraine have agreed another temporary ceasefire in cities including Sumy to allow civilians to flee. We hear messages from people who have managed to flee and from those who remain trapped.

 We speak to foreign fighters who have travelled to Ukraine to join the fighting against Russia.
