Six months of war in Ukraine

Soaring inflation, food insecurity and an energy crisis are some of the side effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Half-a-year after the beginning of the war, we take a look at the global fallout of the ongoing conflict. Nowhere has the economic impact been more dramatically felt than in Ukraine itself, where economic activity has almost halved. We ask Yulia Sorokina, CEO of Ukranian fashion brand Wonder, how she manages to keep her business going in a war-hit country. The impact of the conflict and international sanctions in the Russian economy is hard to assess. Economic analysts have come up with some radically differing methods to do so. We ask one of them, Sergei Guriev, a Russian-born Professor of Economics at the Sciences Po University in Paris. The repercussions of the war in Ukraine are global, and one of the places where the situation has become the most pressing is the Horn of Africa. We hear from Hassan Khannenje, director of the HORN International Institute for Strategic Studies, in Kenya. The huge outpouring of support for Ukraine has worn out after six months, and charities say it's getting harder to raise funds. The BBC's Victoria Craig talks to Ukrainian chef and author Olia Hercules, based in London, about her efforts to get help for relatives and other civilians in her country. And we take a look at the latest developments in the markets with Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.
