Russian shelling of Ukraine continues

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Russian shelling of Ukraine continues

Shelling continues in some of the country’s major cities

Over a month into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, shelling continues in some of the country’s major cities. We’ll hear from Vira, who is staying put in Kyiv, at least for the time being. And the BBC’s Kateryna Khinkulova explains how the conflict is threatening both the lives and livelihoods of Ukrainians. In light of the invasion, many European countries are seeking to reduce their dependence on Russian energy. Kristine Berzina of the German Marshall Fund explains just how difficult that could actually prove. China has announced its biggest city-wide lockdown since the Covid outbreak began more than two years ago. The city of Shanghai will be locked down in two stages over nine days while authorities carry out Covid-19 testing. And entertainment reporter KJ Matthews breaks down the Oscar hopefuls at the 94th Academy Awards. 

Presented by Faarea Masud. Produced by Frey Lindsay.
