Huge explosions across Russia as Ukraine blows up more key oil facilities & ‘massive losses’ reported around Kupyansk

Day 1,303.


Today, as Russian troops continue to advance in Kupyansk,
bringing fighting inside the city, Ukraine strikes an oil complex
more than 800 miles inside Russia. We discuss how NATO would
implement a no-fly zone in Ukraine and zoom in on Russian frozen
assets. Finally, we hear from Anastasia Dovbnia of Save Ukraine
about the latest news on their efforts to bring children back
from Russia and the Occupied Territories.
