'Another round of lies' warns Zelensky as Russia provides no evidence of drone attack on Putin

Day 1,405.


Today, as the Kremlin tries to divert attention from President
Zelensky’s seemingly successful meeting with Donald Trump in
Florida with un-evidenced claims of an attempt on Putin’s life,
we report on Russian advances in Zapporizhia oblast that may lead
to legal difficulties for a Ukrainian commander. And, later,
Francis watches, and reports on, Ukrainian TV and I take a brief
look back at the main events of 2025.
