Karin tried to comfort her BBC colleague but Olga carried on, explaining she could not believe what she was seeing.

    “We are seeing the fire brigade coming to help, we are seeing the streets of Kyiv,” Olga explained.

    Karin asked: “You’re talking about that actual building.”

    “I know all of us at the BBC will be there to support you and your colleagues once this nightmare ends.”
