Exclusive: Trump hands Putin Ukraine’s occupied territories & Putin says ‘Russia ready to fight until last Ukrainian dies’

Day 1,373.


Today, in a world exclusive, we report how Donald Trump is
preparing to hand over Ukraine’s occupied territories, as his
team prepares to fly to Moscow to present the plan to Vladimir
Putin. Meanwhile, the Russian President claims his country’s army
“cannot be held back”, as Russia experiences one of the heaviest
drone raids of the war. Then, we turn to Kyiv, where the offices
of the head of President Zelensky’s office – Andriy Yermak – were
dramatically raided by anti-corruption officers. And later, at a
time when leaders talk about gifting land to the Kremlin, we
bring you unheard, rare testimony of what it’s like to live under
Russian control in those regions, and what many more millions may
soon be condemned to endure.
