Nuclear fears as atomic agency warns power plant a ‘direct threat’ & interview with Ukrainian sniper Roman Trokhymets

Day 1,471.


Today, as the United States asks Ukraine to help intercept
Iranian drones over the Gulf, Washington simultaneously removes
sanctions on Russian oil trade and votes alongside Moscow against
a motion condemning attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear power plants. We
assess the deepening diplomatic crisis between Ukraine and
Hungary after Kyiv accuses Budapest of detaining seven Ukrainian
banking officials and seizing a large stash of gold, and ask
whether President Zelensky's sharp response could ultimately
strengthen Viktor Orbán’s election campaign. Then, in a special
interview, we talk to Roman Trokhymets: a sniper in the Ukrainian
Army who fought in several of the major battles we have reported
on these past four years.
