Poling in Russia, I Don'tknow, Have a Libel It So Never Be

At least 1,200 Ukrainians are believed to have died in Mariupol alone - killed by Putin's brutal invasion of the country - while thousands of Russian soldiers may be dead. As Russia becomes bogged down in Ukraine, the war is becoming increasingly violent - and a horrific siege of Kyiv may be imminent. Rumours abound too that Putin may resort to chemical weapons. How badly is the invasion going for Russia, what happens next - and what lengths could Putin resort to?

We're joined by Tom Burgis, investigative journalist and author of Kleptopia, to explain how we crack down on oligarchs linked to Putin; Paul Rogers, Emeritus Professor of Peace Studies, to tell us the state of the Russia invasion; and Adam Bienkov, on Boris Johnson's links to media mogul Evgeny Lebedev.

We're also joined by Jeed Basyoun from Reprieve to discuss Saudi Arabia's mass executions.
