Russian troops now being ‘killed faster than Kremlin can recruit’ & world leaders gather in Kyiv to mark fourth anniversary of full-scale war

Day 1,461.


Today, as world leaders gather in Kyiv to mark the fourth
anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we report
live from two different regions of the country, covering the
latest attacks from air and land and assessing the current
battlefield picture. We reflect on the resilience of Ukrainians
after years of war, and bring updates on an explosion in Moscow
as well as reports suggesting that Moscow is now losing more
soldiers on the frontline than it can recruit to sustain Vladimir
Putin’s war effort.
