Trump shares intelligence for long-range strikes on Russia & Crimea's governor 'hacked'

Day 1,317.


Today, as Donald Trump reportedly provides Ukraine with
intelligence for long-range missile strikes against Russia, we
assess just how serious the economic situation is becoming amid
reports of gas shortages. Then, as European leaders join
President Zelensky in Copenhagen, we hear about the new 'drone
wall' and how Moscow has upgraded its missiles to better evade
Patriot air defense systems.
