BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukraine's health sector struggles under the effects of war

Ukraine's health sector struggles under the effects of war.

The World Health Organisation Regional Director for Europe, Hans Kluge, is in Ukraine to assess the needs of the country's health sector which is crippled by the war against Russia.

Also in the programme: A Turkish travel blogger shares his memories of the ancient city of Antakya which now lies in ruins after being hit by a devastating earthquake almost two weeks ago.

And as the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, we find out why Serbian people have chosen to support Russia over Ukraine.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other stories are Jacquelin Magnay the European Correspondent for The Australian, based in London and Yannis Palaiologos, correspondent at large for the Greek daily newspaper Kathimerini.
