For months, the war in Ukraine was about territory as both sides fought to control areas in the country’s south and east.

In recent weeks, the war has taken a new turn.

Guest: Marc Santora, the International News Editor for The New York Times.

Background reading:

• Survival kits in elevators, alternative menus in cafes, flashlights and generators everywhere: This is life under Russian bombardment.
