Ukraine war: Three years on

European leaders have promised enduring support for Ukraine on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion, as they react to the abrupt change in US policy under President Trump. We hear from Ukrainians who recall the day three years ago.

We speak to our colleagues with BBC Ukraine about what it has been like to cover the war and about today's meetings in Kyiv.

We also hear from two Ukrainian women who are involved in a project to rebuild Ukraine to the sound of rave.

Our reporter with BBC Russian explains how the day is being marked in Russia and what do we know about the number of Russian losses in the war.

The man who'll be Germany's new chancellor -- Friedrich Merz -- has said the rapid gains made by the far-right AfD are the final warning for mainstream parties. We explain who Merz is, hear from voters and speak to our correspondent.

Presenter: Luke Jones.
