Ukrainecast - The fugitive
Ukraine says it has arrested one of President Putin’s allies and is interested in a prisoner swap. Viktor Medvedchuk had been under house arrest in Kyiv but escaped when the Russian invasion began. James Landale joins Victoria to discuss whether a swap is likely.
There's also an update from Hussain who fled from Kherson. He’s been helping other people escape from the same city - we speak to one of them.
And a Belgian doctor explains how he helped transport 80 orphans across Ukraine to a safer place.
Today's episode was made by Phil Marzouk and Chris Flynn. The technical director was Emma Crowe. The assistant editors were Alison Gee and Sam Bonham.
