Ukraine war: Delivering aid in Kyiv as Russian strikes get closer

Weekend

Available for over a year

Russian forces have renewed their bombardment on Kyiv. Two million people are left and there are grave concerns for those remaining in the city. Olga is in central Kiev, operating as one of a group of volunteers. She explains that the suburbs and villages north of the city are now being shelled by Russian forces, and that the city itself is also being attacked. She says her work is to protect and deliver supplies to the people still left in Kyiv who have been unable to make the dangerous journey out of the city, delivered by a network of cars shuttling between Kyiv and Lviv. "Civilians who have never heard the sounds of explosions before are being shot at directly."
