The two countries accuse each other of prolonging the war as Russia continue offensive on Ukrainian cities.

Russia and Ukraine have traded accusations over the two-month war, with President Volodymyr Zelensky warning peace talks might collapse if attacks continue.

And a look at race relations in the US, thirty years after the deadly Los Angeles riots, sparked by the brutality suffered by a black man at the hands of the police.

 Also in the programme: The extraordinary story of members of the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra who fled the war in Ukraine and are now getting back together for a European tour.

 Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other topical issues of the day are Karin von Hippel, Director-General of the defence think-tank RUSI, an independent defence and security research centre in London, and a former US State Department Official, and Jacquelin Magnay, European Correspondent for The Australian, based in London.
