Ukraine port city of Mariupol under attack

Civilians are trapped by intense shelling in Mariupol, a strategic southern port near Ukrainian's border with Russia. We’ll explain the latest military action and its significance. We continue to hear the voices of people who are living through what’s happening.

We also hear conversations between Ukrainian parents about how they’re looking after their children during the conflict and how they’re explaining the war.

And we discuss what the Russian Ministry of Education is telling Russian children in a special broadcast today, putting across the Russian authorities’ justification for what they’re calling a “special military operation”.
