Ukraine War: Odesa in Russia's sights

A flotilla of Russian naval ships is believed to be just on the horizon of Odesa as Ukrainian residents prepare for the worst.

The city is strategically important to Vladimir Putin. If he can take it then he could cut off the country from the sea.

People have put sandbags on the beaches, blocking doorways, windows and roads and huge steel crosses have been placed in the roads, designed to stop tanks and military vehicles in their tracks.
