Energy war forces blackouts in Russia and Ukraine amid Putin’s manpower crisis

Day 1,356


Today, after weekend strikes on energy facilities in both
countries left blackouts in Russia and Ukraine, we report how
Moscow now seems to be deliberately targeting Ukrainian nuclear
plants well away from the front line, how Britain is sending
military personnel to defend Belgian skies, and later we have an
interview with Dr Jack Watling, Senior Research Fellow for Land
Warfare at the Royal United Services Institute, in which he
describes Ukraine’s adaptation of battlefield tactics.
