The Mobile World Congress (MWC) technology trade show will open on Monday with questions remaining over the level of Russian involvement in the event.

MWC is returning to Barcelona with a predominantly in-person convention for the first time since the pandemic and with strict Covid restrictions in place, but it is uncertain over any Russian presence at the show amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine which has taken centre stage.
