Thousands of Ukrainian people, including young children, are walking for hours to reach the border of neighbouring Poland, as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine. The 大象传媒's Adam Easton is in Poland and tells us how the refugees are being received. Germany worries about its future energy supply as most comes from Russia, making it tough to punish Putin for fear of energy related retaliation, says editor in chief of German newspaper Tagesspiegel, Jakob Schlandt.
