Description

After multiple civilian casualties in the latest sustained Russian airstrikes on Kyiv, Russia's ambassador to the UK was summoned by the Foreign Office in protest. But will these attacks have any bearing on western attempts to broker a peace deal?

To examine the fallout, Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko are joined by BBC Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse and BBC Verify’s Olga Robinson. They also discuss Vladimir Putin’s legitimacy under the Russian constitution, Poland’s place in the conflict, and whether China could take a more prominent diplomatic role as Russia's president prepares to travel to Beijing.
