Tomahawk missiles ‘on the table’ from Trump & Russia humiliated by election in Moldova

Day 1,314.


Today, amid heavy assaults on Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia, while
Ukraine attacks more energy sites deep inside Russia, we hear
about the evacuation of families from eastern Ukraine, where
Moscow’s offensive continues to flatten whole cities – and about
the half-marathon Dom ran to help raise money for one charity
trying to help. Plus, we reflect on the historic election result
in Moldova, and why it's bad news for Moscow.
