Ukraine's capital Kyiv had been expected to fall within 72 hours of a Russian invasion, but when the attack finally came, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was determined to stay and fight for his nation's survival. In Part 2 of our documentary, we continue to retrace the timeline of those critical first 72 hours. Drawing on interviews with the president's closest aides, official government releases and global media reports, we shed fresh light on events that have set in motion a new era of global polarization and instability.
