Ukraine: The Latest

Frontline 'breaking point' discovered when troops 'stop caring if they survive' & exclusive: Ukraine sanctions chief begs allies to 'seize Russia’s shadow fleet'Day 1,524. At what point do frontline soldiers in Ukraine reach a breaking point? Today, as Russia’s Tuapse oil refinery is hit yet again, we discuss a new study underscoring the strain on troops in Ukraine, with many now serving longer in “the kill zone” than in some of the deadliest wars of the 20th century. We also report on a new museum in North Korea dedicated to soldiers killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine, highlighting deepening ties between Moscow and Pyongyang. And later, Joe Barnes speaks to Ukraine’s international sanctions representative about what more can be done to tighten sanctions on Russia and weaken the Kremlin’s war effort.
