On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we discuss the latest developments in Ukraine. A recent Russian missile strike on an apartment building killed 45 people in Dnipro, including young children.

More than 9,000 civilians, including 453 children, have been killed in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion last February, according to officials.
