How nervous are people in Ukraine?

Unspun World with John Simpson

Available for over a year

This week - in a special from the Ukrainian capital Kyiv - the BBC's world affairs editor, John Simpson, explores: how nervous people in Ukraine are about the war now with Kyiv correspondent Hugo Bachega; if the steady defeats on the battlefield are finally posing a risk to the power of President Putin with Sarah Rainsford, BBC Eastern Europe correspondent, expelled from Moscow after two decades; and just how badly the recent mini-budget might damage the UK economy and what the implications are internationally with global trade correspondent Dharshini David. Unspun World provides an unvarnished version of the week's major global news stories with the BBC's world affairs editor John Simpson and the BBC's unparalleled range of experts.
