Life in Lviv

We’re live in Lviv in Western Ukraine to bring you first-hand accounts of life in a country at war. We’ll find out how the city is coping with the influx of people who have fled from Russian attacks.

We’ll speak to a BBC journalist who has been covering the stories of people from various African countries who want to sign up to fight in the war in Ukraine.

And we learn more about the possibility that Russia won’t be able to pay money it owes to international investors. We’ll also explain why some western brands are unable to leave Russia because of the franchising agreements they have with local businesspeople.
