The Russia-Ukraine war through the eyes and ears of BBC World Service followers on social media.

This special edition of Pick of the World examines a month of the Russia-Ukraine war through the eyes and ears of BBC World Service followers on social media.

Digital Editor Anna Doble speaks with BBC Ukraine News Editor Marta Shokalo about how her team has managed to keep covering the story, despite being forced to flee themselves. And we find out how Ukrainians are following rolling news of the invasion via chat apps on their mobile phones as they shelter underground.

BBC Russia’s Social Media Editor Natasha Touzovskaya explains how news and information is being shared by Russians, despite many social platforms and news websites being blocked by the authorities.

Anna also chats with Gabriela Torres, who leads BBC World Service on social media across 42 languages. We find out which stories from Ukraine have generated the biggest reactions so far around the world. And we get an update from the German family who are hosting Ukrainian refugee Anastasia and her son in Berlin.
