Here is our round-up of the latest from the war in Ukraine.
In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the "cowardly silence" of Russian citizens.
Ukraine's New Year's Day strike on Russian-controlled Makiivka in eastern Ukraine has reportedly killed some 400 Russian soldiers. However, Moscow has acknowledged the deaths of 63 soldiers, a figure Russian war reporters dispute.
The new UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Austria's Volker Türk, granted a wide-ranging interview to FRANCE 24 from Geneva. This week, the High Commissioner travelled to Ukraine to observe first-hand the consequences of Russia's invasion on the Ukrainian people. During his visit, Türk had to take cover in an underground shelter in Kyiv as Russian missiles hit civilian targets. Speaking to FRANCE 24, he condemned what he called "war crimes" in Ukraine: "The picture that emerges is [one of] torture, summary executions, disappearances, willful killings of civilians and that's very, very tragic and shocking."
As the war in Ukraine enters its ninth month, Western sanctions are hitting Russia's economy hard. For more, FRANCE 24 is joined by Olivier Marty, Professor of Economics at the University of Paris.
