More than 2,000 civilians have been killed so far in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the country's emergency service has said. It came as Russian forces closed in on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and attacks across the country's main cities intensified seven days after the start of the invasion. 

Newstalk Breakfast spoke to Inna Sovsun, Member of Parliament in Ukraine, and also Jonathan Marcus, former BBC Defence, and Diplomatic Correspondent.
