BBC World Service - BBC OS, Russia says it will scale back

Russia will 'drastically reduce combat operations' around Kyiv and Chernihiv

Russia will 'drastically reduce combat operations' around Kyiv and Chernihiv.

We continue our coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with Anna Foster presenting the programme from the western city of Lviv. 

We hear personal stories and analysis from our correspondents in the country. Delegations from Russia and Ukraine are in Istanbul for peace talks, but hopes for progress are slim. We explains the terms – like neutrality – that the parties are discussing. 

We hear from Germany about reports that four federal states are looking to ban the use of the Z symbol in the country. The symbol is synonymous with the legitimisation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

We also bring you a conversation about the psychological effects of war with two experts, a psychotherapist, who has fled Ukraine, and a psychiatrist still working in a hospital in Kyiv.
