Bomb in Moscow kills senior Russian general & Trump tells Putin ‘Vladimir, stop’ after Kyiv strike

Day 1,157.


Today, after Donald Trump makes the rare intervention of scolding
Vladimir Putin for one of the deadliest attacks on Kyiv of the
war, we discuss the latest considerations of the coalition of the
willing with regards to boots on the ground, and the evolving
nature of acts of resistance in the occupied territories – and
within Russia itself. Later, we listen to recordings from Ukraine
that reveal the impact the conflict has had on the natural
environment.
