Ukraine: The Latest

Day 1,311.

Today, as Ukraine’s bombardments against Russian energy facilities finally spark gas shortages in Moscow, we assess the gaping hole in Europe’s drone defences amid yet more violations, before leaving you with one more documentary from David Knowles, who visits the site of one of the worst Nazi war crimes to take place in Ukraine during World War II.

Kyiv’s “Revenge operation” hits Russia’s far east as RAF commits Typhoons to NATO’s flank

Day 1,300.

Today, we unpack what happened in Romania over the weekend, where a Russian drone flew into its airspace for almost an hour. And we look at the fall out responses from Nato & Europe since last week’s similar incursion in Poland. Meanwhile in Russia, Ukrainian saboteurs derailed two trains over the weekend. Finally, we discuss Russia’s economy and oil industry and zoom in on India and whether, as Trump put it a few weeks, it is indeed lost to ‘deepest, darkest China.’
