Ukraine tells people in east to flee

The Ukrainian authorities have appealed to residents of eastern Ukraine to flee

We hear about the situation in Donbass region in Ukraine where thousands of people are fleeing after Russia shifted the focus of its attacks to the east of the country. We bring more personal stories from across Ukraine as the fighting continues.

We speak to our journalist specialising in work to verify footage posted online that appears to be from Ukraine.

We look at the new round of sanctions the EU and the US are announcing today against Russia and explain the impact.

The number of Ukrainian refugees to have crossed the border with Poland has reached 2.5 million. We have brought together three volunteers to share their experiences of helping the arrivals.
