Newscast + Ukrainecast
As talks between Russia and Ukraine fail again, the human toll of the war is escalating.
Laura, Chris and Adam are joined by Gabriel Gatehouse of Ukrainecast, to discuss the latest developments in both countries, and try to work out what President Putin and his small circle of \u201cstrongmen\u201d are thinking.
The BBC\u2019s diplomatic correspondent James Landale is in Turkey, where that meeting between Russia\u2019s Sergei Lavrov and Ukraine\u2019s Dmitry Kuleba ended without any meaningful discussion even beginning.
Labour\u2019s Lisa Nandy reacts to the latest changes to the government\u2019s refugee policy for Ukrainians and argues that much more bureaucracy needs to be stripped away immediately.
