From Morning Report, 8:19 am on 8 April 2022

Residents in the shattered outskirts of Ukraine's capital Kyiv are slowly coming to grips with life after Russia's onslaught there.

Their failure to capture the key city of power has led to the withdrawal of forces, but officials say the region's not out of the woods yet.

Kyiv still remains the key prize for Russia; Ukrainian military leaders say the capital could come under attack again, if Russia seizes full control of eastern Ukraine.

US Army Major General Michael Repass has advised the Ukrainian military for the past six years.

He gave Corin Dann his assessment of Russia's retreat.
