About this episode
What’s it like living in the Russian city under attack?
We hear from a man in Belgorod, the Russian border city that Ukraine is targeting with missiles.
Twenty-five people were killed and more than 100 others hurt there on 30 December, in what was one of the deadliest attacks on Russia since the full scale invasion. Missiles continue to be fired.
Russia editor Steve Rosenberg is on to tell us how Russians are reacting, and what it means for the future of the war.
