Ukrainian Olympic Swimmer and World Record holder Andrii Govorov tells us about evacuating his wife and young child out of the country just before Russia launched its invasion.

Govorov - who was born in Crimea – also gives us an insight into the Russian psyche and believes people have been brainwashed to accept the conflict.

Speaking with Sportshour’s Mike Williams, Govorov also explains why he believes all Russian athletes should be banned from international competition and how he feels seeing Ukrainian athletes sign up to fight in the war.
