Episode description
Prince Harry has warned the world not to grow “numb” to Russia’s war in Ukraine during a surprise visit to Kyiv.
The former British army captain also called on the “American leadership” to honour its international obligations, a thinly-veiled swipe at Donald Trump.
The fighting rages on in Ukraine, while much of the world’s attention is focused on the war on Iran.
The US has been a key backer of Kyiv but is now distracted by a conflict of its own. So, what is going on in Ukraine and what are the UK and Europe doing to help?
Niall is joined by Sky’s military analyst Sean Bell.
