A report from Ukraine, after three weeks of war

It's three weeks since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, expecting to fight a short war that he would win. While that hasn’t happened, people in besieged cities like Mariupol are suffering terribly under intense daily bombardment by Russian forces. 


Daniel McLaughlin and Lara Marlowe are reporting for The Irish Times from the western city of Lviv, which has not seen any fighting so far. 


They speak to Sorcha Pollak about life on the ground in Ukraine, the people they’ve met since the war began and why it’s still not clear how this will end.
