21/04/2024 12:06 GMT: Can the US aid package to Ukraine slow Russia’s advance?

BBC World Service - Newshour, Can the US aid package to Ukraine slow Russia’s advance?

Ukrainians say the US military aid package worth over $60 bn is ‘better late than never’

Ukraine's recent lack of air defence systems has been blamed for Russian forces capturing hundreds more square kilometres of Ukrainian territory. So what difference will the aid make? We speak a defence analyst and get reaction from the capital, Kyiv.

Also on the programme: Newshour’s James Coomarasamy asks if India can stick to its ambitious plans to tackle climate change and develop renewable energy sources; and we ask if the government of Sierra Leone is serious about tackling the drug, called kush, which is devastating the country’s youth?
