Russia bombs Kyiv for a second consecutive day

BBC World Service - Newshour, Russia bombs Kyiv for a second consecutive day

Despite an apparent shift to other areas, Russia ​continues to target Ukraine's capital

Despite an apparent shift in the conflict to the south and east of Ukraine, Russia has continued to target Ukraine's capital.

Despite an apparent shift in the focus of the conflict in Ukraine to the south and east of the country, Russia has targeted the capital Kyiv for a second successive day and explosions have also been heard in the western city of Lviv.

We hear from a resident of Kyiv, who recounts how the rocket attacks have affected the city.

Also in the programme: we hear how people are trying to rebuild their lives in the ​Ukrainian town of Bucha - where hundreds of people were killed - and the World Food Programme warns the war in Ukraine will have an impact on food supplies in other vulnerable countries in the coming months.
