continues with no end in sight. we report from the front line to assess the impact the conflict has had on ukraine. amp presidentjoe biden has announced new sanctions and an additional $2 billion support package helping the ukrainians in theirfight. welcome to the programme. it s the first anniversary of the ukraine war, one year since vladimir putin ordered his forces to launch an all out assault on ukraine with the aim of taking kyiv within days. the strategy failed. ukrainian resistance has been fierce, though it has come at an immense cost. many have died on the battlefield, and accusations of war crimes by the russian troops have shocked the world. the war has changed europe and the world, leaving russia diplomatically isolated and revitalising the nato alliance. some have thought was losing its justification. our international editor jeremy bowen has reported on the conflict from the very beginning. he s kept in touch with many of the ukrainians he s spoken to along the
