US to offer more assistance to Ukraine

President Biden says the United States will offer more economic, security and humanitarian help to Ukraine, following a phone conversation with Volodomyr Zelensky.

Fighting is continuing across much of Ukraine. Our international correspondent has been in Irpin on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv. And a resident of the southern city of Mariupol tells us the Russian attacks have been indiscriminate.

Plus we hear from Slovakia, one of Ukraine's neighbours taking in people who are fleeing the fighting.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome. She's also Special Advisor to EU High Representative and Vice President of the Commission, Josep Borrell; and Andri Snaer Magnason, an Icelandic writer and documentary film-maker.
