From Morning Report, 8:47 am on 4 March 2022

A former Ukranian city council staffer says civilians in her hometown are refusing to bend to Russia's demands.

Tetiana Zhurba is in constant communication with those in the north-eastern city of Sumy, near Kharviv, which nearly fell to Russia in the first attack.

Zhurba spoke to Susie Ferguson.
