Looking back at the war in Ukraine
A selection of stories from correspondents covering the conflict around the country during the past year - including a special dispatch from Ukrainian author Andrey Kurkov
Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from correspondents covering the conflict in Ukraine as it unfolded during 2022.
Quentin Somerville was close to Russian lines in Kharkiv as it came under siege. He reflects on the horror of all wars - and whether images of dead bodies are a necessary part of telling the whole truth of what's happening on the ground.
Yogita Limaye writes on her visit to Bucha after the Russian retreat, and her encounter with Olga - a widow trying to rebuild her life after she lost her home and her husband to the occupation.
In July, Orla Guerin sent a report from the Donbas on how Russia's propaganda machine reached the Russian speakers in the region - leading to suspicion and mistrust between some local people and members of the Ukrainian armed forces.
And finally, acclaimed Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov reflects on his return to Kyiv after several months in Europe and the somewhat muted festivities as the city faces a cold, dark and unpredictable New Year.
