There have been multiple civilian casualties in Kyiv after sustained Russian airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital overnight. The UK Foreign Office has told Moscow to "stop this senseless killing" and earlier summoned Russia's ambassador in the UK to protest. But will these latest attacks have any bearing on international attempts to broker a peace deal?

To examine the fallout, Jamie and Vitaly are joined by Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse and 蜜芽传媒 Verify鈥檚 Olga Robinson. They also discuss Vladimir Putin鈥檚 legitimacy under the Russian constitution, Poland鈥檚 place in the conflict, and whether China could take a more prominent diplomatic role as Russia's president prepares to travel to Beijing.
