Ukraine’s defences have shot down so-called ‘unstoppable’ missiles over Kyiv.

We’re also joined by Anastasia Gribanova from the Â鶹Éç’s Ukrainian Service to talk about The Superhumans Center, a specialised clinic for Ukrainians offering free prosthetics, reconstruction treatment and PTSD counselling.

Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.
