Women in Ukraine and Russia

We speak to women in Kyiv and Moscow about tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

There is much international focus on the possibility of a Russian military invasion of its neighbour Ukraine. US President Joe Biden has spoken of 鈥渆normous consequences鈥 if that did happen, warning it would 鈥渃hange the world鈥. Russia has an estimated 100,000 troops on the border with Ukraine but has said it does not want war. While world leaders talk, host Ben James guides us through the discussions among six women in the two countries. In Ukraine, the 主播大秀鈥檚 James Reynolds hears from three women in the capital Kyiv about the prospect of war. They include a Olena, a volunteer sniper since 2014 and a professional servicewoman for five years, who is once more prepared to fight for her country.
