Zelensky: US security guarantees ‘100% ready’ & Russian city hit with ‘most massive’ strike of the war

Day 1,432.


Today, as Kyiv endures sub-zero temperatures, we report on
Russia’s latest mass aerial attack on the city, carried out even
as trilateral so-called peace talks were taking place in Abu
Dhabi over the weekend. We examine Steve Witkoff’s latest visit
to Moscow – he has still yet to travel to Ukraine – and ask why
Russia is now pushing the opaque “Alaska formula” in a bid to
secure territory it has failed to seize by force. And later,
Francis Dearnley and Hamish de Bretton-Gordon visit the British
Army’s Land Warfare Centre, where the next generation of soldiers
is learning the lessons of the war in Ukraine.
