Russia's bombardment of Kharkiv escalates

Available for over a year

Russia has continued its onslaught against the northeastern Ukraine city of Kharkiv. Olga Shapoval is executive director of the city's IT cluster, and tells us what life is like for people there now. Also in the programme, as Western sanctions on Russia continue to bite, we hear how businesses in the country are responding from Chris Weafer, founder of Macro Advisory, who is based in Moscow. A number of Western companies are taking steps to divest or otherwise disengage from involvement with Russia, and the BBC's Rob Young has a roundup of who is doing what. Plus, Ukraine is one of the world's top wheat exporters. We explore what impact Russia's invasion of the country could have on global food security with Andrey Sizov of the grain research firm SovEcon in Moscow. Today's edition is presented by Rahul Tandon, and produced by Nisha Patel, Russell Newlove and George Thomas. (Picture: The damaged Kharkiv City Hall. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
