As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to cause devastation, we speak to independent journalist Olga Tokariuk about what life is like for people who have remained in the country - the dwindling access to food, incessant air strikes, the possibility that they might have to take up arms, and the psychological impact on children. We’re also joined by UNHCR spokesperson Gabriela Leu who tells us what conditions are like for people fleeing the country across western borders.The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal.
