Ukraine drives 10km into occupied territory on two fronts & White House says it 'takes Russia at their word' over Iran intelligence sharing

Day 1,476.


Today, as US envoy Steve Witkoff says “we can take them at their
word” after Russia denies sharing intelligence about American
forces with Iran – before adding “let’s hope they’re not sharing”
– we examine the latest tensions between Washington, Moscow and
Tehran. We also analyse a Ukrainian deep-strike operation that
raised fresh questions about Russian air defences after a
loitering drone was able to film the attack. Then we bring
updates on Ukrainian counterattacks in the south, where two
operations now appear to have pushed around 10 kilometres into
Russian lines, and hear a final dispatch from Adélie in Ukraine.
Later, we speak to former NATO Secretary General Anders
Fogh Rasmussen.
