Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced a 35-hour curfew to end on Thursday morning, the first curfew to be put in place in daytime. It comes after the leaders of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia visited Kyiv. We get analysis of their visit from our Poland correspondent Adam Easton. Also in the programme, the BBC's Victoria Craig speaks to the president of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda, about the the latest round of European sanctions against Russia. The city of Lviv in the west of Ukraine has been seen as a place of sanctuary for many fleeing conflict elsewhere in the country. But the war has now arrived on Lviv's doorstep, and we get reaction from Liana Semchuk from the UK-based risk analysis firm Sibylline. And, after many Western companies have announced their withdrawal from Russia, we look at those businesses who say ending their operations there is easier said than done. Fergus Nicoll is joined throughout the programme by Peter Landers of the Wall Street Journal in Tokyo, and by Sarah Birke from The Economist in Mexico City. (Picture: A damaged living room in Kyiv.
