Exclusive: ‘Putin won’t last’ – Russian agent who fled Moscow in a dead cow

Day 1,541.


Today, after the two days of near continuous strikes against
Ukraine with over 1,600 drones and missiles fired on the country
– with at least 12 killed by a single projectile – we hear the
latest round of American withdrawals of thousands of troops from
Europe, and a sobering assessment from experts at Chatham House
about the direction of the war. Then we have an extraordinary
exclusive interview with a Russian FSB agent who claims he fled
Moscow in a dead cow.
