Anti-government protests break out in Kyiv & our clash with Russian sympathisers on the frontline of Cold War II

Day 1,246.


Today, after a historic vote in the Ukrainian parliament which
sparked the country’s biggest protest in wartime, we assess the
damage to President Zelensky’s credibility following his decision
to approve a bill some argue has gifted Putin a propaganda
victory. Then we take you to Moldova – a nation on Europe’s edge,
with the first of a two-part dispatch that includes our clash
with Russian-sympathising politicians outside of the parliament.
