The mayor of the strategically important Ukrainian Black Sea port of Kherson said that Russian forces were now in control - making it the first major city to be taken by the Russians. In a message posted on Facebook, Igor Kolykhaev wrote that Russian troops had forced their way into the city council building. However, we hear from Andriy Zagorodnyuk, Ukraine's former defence minister, who believes that the Ukrainian and Russian forces are still battling for control.

Also in the programme, with Vladimir Putin's government imposing ever stricter measures on media outlets, we find out how the war in Ukraine is reported in Russia.

And, we talk to Jason Hungerford, partner at London-based law firm Mayer Brown International, about the potential liability of crypto exchanges in the context of sanctions.

Plus, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has announced he will sell Chelsea FC, which he has owned for almost two decades. We discuss the implications of this with Trevor Watkins, the Head of Global Sports at the law firm Pinsent Masons and a former Chairman of the English club AFC Bournemouth.

Presenter Fergus Nicoll is joined by guests Alison Van Diggelen and Peter Ryan
