BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Russia launches surprise offensive in Ukraine

How serious a moment is this for Ukraine?

Russian forces have launched a surprise new ground offensive in Ukraine - crossing the border into the Kharkiv region. We ask how dangerous could this be for Ukraine.

Also on The World Tonight:

The UK economy is out of recession and the prime minister says the economy has "turned a corner". Two former advisers to leaders, Conservative and Labour, discuss what impact the latest economic figures could have on the election strategy of the those two parties.

And as Netflix hit Baby Reindeer finds itself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, we ask how TV makers can avoid the pitfalls of drama based on real people.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
