BBC World Service - Weekend, On the frontlines of Ukraine's war against Russia

A look at Ukraine's war against Russia one year on.

As the world marks the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we hear from the conflict's front line in the east of the country.

Also in the programme:We meet the American teenager who's just cycled from the far north of Alaska to the far south of Argentina and is contemplating repeating the journey to get back home.
And we find out why ancient trees are so important to our ecology and history.
