The surgeons treating frontline soldiers: “Every day is a mass casualty incident”

And Moldova votes to move towards Europe.

As a solution to the conflict remains elusive and casualties mount, what is it like to treat those injured while defending their country?

This week we are speaking with two surgeons, Dr Danylo Turkevich and Dr Shehan Hettiaratchy, who have witnessed the consequences of the fighting in Ukraine close up.

Plus Victoria is joined by our correspondent Sarah Rainsford to discuss a pro-EU election victory in Moldova, amid allegations of Russian interference.

Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire.

The producers were Laurie Kalus and Julia Webster. The technical producer was Michael Regaard. The social producer was Elizabeth Chalmers. The series producer is Chris Flynn. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
