The Fifth Floor: Russia's lost troops

The Fifth Floor: Russia's lost troops

By BBC World Service

How many soldiers are fighting - and dying - for Russia in Ukraine? Who are they, and what do their stories tell us about Russia's frontline tactics? We'll ask Olga Ivshina, who has been monitoring Russian losses in Ukraine from day one. Plus, Anne McAlpine from BBC Alba dives into the history of Gaelic proverbs.

Produced by Alice Gioia and Caroline Ferguson.
