Ukraine: a war without end?

GLOBAL
About this episode

It's Eurovision weekend. But the biggest party in Europe will not take place in Ukraine -last year’s victor - but in Liverpool.

This episode is not about Eurovision, but instead asking where we are with the Ukraine war, over 400 days since its start. With more than 9000 Ukrainian civilians dead, are we any closer to the conflict’s end? We take you in depth and discover how everything hinges on the Ukrainian counter offensive, now finally coming.

And in our latest My Political Make Up interview we talk to Labour MP and Shadow Minister for Women, Jess Phillips.
