10:18 Ukraine update from CNN
Sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine have sent its currency tanking - down 30 percent against the US dollar. The new record low for the currency comes after many of Russia's banks were banned from using the SWIFT international payment system. Meanwhile the price of Brent crude oil has surged above a hundred US dollars a barrel. The fifth day of war brought fierce resistance by Ukrainian forces and armed civilians who thwarted at least one attempt by Russian troops to advance into Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city. CNN's Correspondent in Moscow, Vasco Cotovio shares the latest.
