Drone boats blow up Russian oil tankers & missile blitz leaves 600,000 without power

Day 1,376.


Today, after a fresh round of talks between the Ukrainian and
American delegations in Miami, we examine a new investigation
exposing the Trump administration’s profit motives behind the
emerging proposals. We then assess the resignation of Andriy
Yermak, formerly Zelensky’s right-hand man, and the unexpected
intervention of former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi –
viewed as preparing for a presidential run after the war.
Afterwards, we analyse Kyiv’s decision to strike the Russian
shadow fleet off the coast of Senegal, and how Europe – and
France in particular – is positioning itself for this next,
volatile phase.
