21:06Now PlayingThis week marks four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the largest and deadliest conflict in Europe since WW2.
The BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen, has been travelling through Ukraine speaking to people living on the front line, to soldiers, and to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
Ukraine has put its official losses at 55,000 soldiers, and the BBC has verified the deaths of more than 180,000 on the Russian side, although the true toll is likely to be much higher. Tens of thousands of civilians have been killed or wounded, and millions have been displaced.
In this episode of The Global Story, Jeremy Bowen speaks to Asma Khalid from a hotel room in the centre of Ukraine's capital city, Kyiv.
