Kyiv mayor says Ukraine may need to 'give up territory' for truce

Loading player...
The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has become the first leading Ukrainian politician to say the country might have to recognise Russian control of key regions of Ukraine, including Crimea, in exchange for a temporary truce with Russia. The comments come after Russian missiles and drones killed twelve people and injured hundreds in Kyiv. We speak to a resident from the city of Mariupol who was forced to flee her home shortly after the Russian invasion.

We also hear the latest from Sudan, where the Rapid Support Forces have recently attacked a vast refugee camp. As people to flee on foot with no food or water, aid agencies say children are among those dying of thirst and hunger.

Also in our programme: US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order allowing US companies to mine the ocean floor for minerals; and the Dutch town hall that accidently threw out Andy Warhol art with the bins.
