Pentagon spokesman John Kirby spoke of President Putin’s ‘depravity.’

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby accused President Vladimir Putin of ‘depravity’ in his two-month invasion of Ukraine. Speaking emotionally at a Pentagon briefing on Friday, he described Russia’s actions as ‘unconscionable’.

 Also in the programme: We hear from exiled Ugandan writer Kakwenza Rukirabashaija on his country's worsening human rights record.

And how Moldova is trying to avoid being drawn into the war in Ukraine.
