Russia's drone airfield 'in flames' & French fighter jets unleashed

Day 1,079.


Today, we mark the six month anniversary of the Kursk offensive,
talk about how Russian spies may be involved in bombings at
Ukrainian army recruitment offices, and discuss how politicians
in Ukraine have been quietly pushing the profiles looking ahead
to elections at the end of the war. We're also on the ground in
Ukraine at the demining headquarters of Irpin.
