BBC World Service - Newshour, Ukraine enters its third year of war

World leaders gather in Kyiv to mark second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion

As it enters its third year of war, Ukraine is calling for increased international support. US aid is help up in Congress, while Ukraine's long-awaited counter offensive has not made the progress Kyiv and its allies had hope for. Russian forces have taken the eastern town of Avdiivka and made some progress in the south. 

Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, is in Kyiv gauging the current mood among top Ukrainian officials and frontline soldiers.

Also in the programme:  Russian opposition figure Boris Nadezdhin calls for Alexei Navalny to be given a Moscow funeral; and the Israeli war cabinet is briefed on ceasefire negotiations held in Paris; and we ask why Nikki Hayley has vowed to fight on as Donald Trump leads the race in South Carolina's primary.
