Four years of war in Ukraine: "Even the dead have no rest"
In this week's broadcast, we look back at the past four years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as the conflict enters its fifth year with no ceasefire in sight. To find out more about the current state of the conflict and the ongoing peace negotiations, we are joined by global affairs analyst Michael Bociurkiw.
Mr Bociurkiw, who has been based in Ukraine since before the war began, describes the dire situation there, amid power outages and nightly bombings in the winter cold. On the frontline, he tells us, Ukrainian families are having to make the painful decision to exhume their loved ones and move them to safer ground. "Even the dead have no rest in this war," he says.
On a more cheerful note, we give you a preview of the 40th edition of the Goya Awards, the 'Spanish Oscars', which will take place in Barcelona this weekend. Leading the nominations are 'Los domingos', 'Sirāt' and 'Maspalomas', while US actress Susan Sarandon will receive this year's International Goya Award. Director Gonzalo Suárez, in turn, will receive the 2026 Honorary Goya Award.
