Zelensky 'shouldn’t target Moscow', says Trump & Russia commits 9,000 illegal chemical weapon attacks in Ukraine

Day 1,239.


Today, as mass attacks struck Ukraine overnight, we continue
analysing the latest developments from Washington as Trump, when
probed by reporters, seemed to shy away from the promises he’d
made to Zelensky on July 4th. Finally, we have a conversation
with Ukrainian Cultural Forces on the role of music in cultural
diplomacy and in rehabilitation for wounded soldiers.
