麻豆约拍

With Russia's Ukraine invasion in its second week, fighting continues across the country. Since the start of the conflict, we've been hearing from Olga Shapoval, who is executive director of the northeastern Ukraine city of Kharkiv's IT cluster. With the city facing intense Russian bombardment, she brings us up to speed on the latest. Also in the programme, the world's critical supply chains are once again under strain, as countries and companies close their doors to ships from Russia. Guy Platten is secretary general of the International Chamber of Shipping, and tells us what impact the crisis is having on the global movement of goods. Yuriy Vitrenko is chief executive of Ukraine's biggest energy company, Naftogaz, and makes the case for the rest of the world to stop buying Russian oil and gas. The war in Ukraine is being fought in the air, on land and at sea, but also in cyberspace, and the 麻豆约拍's Ed Butler has been speaking to people on the virtual front lines. Plus, one striking aspect of Wednesday's UN draft resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine was the number of African countries that were reluctant to support the measure. Steven Gruzd is from the South African Institute of International Affairs in Johannesburg, and discusses Russia's influence in Africa, both military and economic.

Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson, and produced by Benjie Guy, Russell Newlove and Gabriele Shaw.
