For facts and analysis, informed with deep knowledge and long experience, alongside compassion, listen to the BBC's incomparable Lyse Doucet and Jeremy Bowen's Global News Podcast: The Conflict.
Politicians and leader writers would do well to listen before sounding off.

It was a great honour for me to present this documentary about a group of women from Mariupol who pulled together to survive the siege. "Before the war I had no problem with Russia, now I hate them all," one of them told me.

I remember @JMZLon (still one of the best editors I ever worked with ) saying - nearly 20 years ago - that one day @ChrisMasonBBC would - and I quote "be the boss of all of us". Should have listened to Jon and put some money on it :D https://t.co/x6maoD7vVP

Western powers reacted to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with anger and sanctions but other countries have been less vocal. Who could Vladimir Putin turn to for support as sanction start to bite? https://t.co/128HFnGLAf

Really sorry to hear about the death of a BBC giant Phil Longman - architect of Five Live and someone who protected and personified BBC news values. A lovely, gentle man, and one of the great newsroom encouragers, especially to young journalists. https://t.co/EfLrAX63dT
