Ukraine wipes out 'critical' supply route on Russia's national day

Day 1,568.


As Putin marks Russia Day by handing out state prizes, including
to a former human rights commissioner who’s been sanctioned for
gross human rights violations, Ukraine chose to celebrate the big
day by launching attacks across Russia. Dom reports how repeated
Ukrainian strikes have reduced traffic along the critical supply
corridor to Crimea by nearly three quarters, and looks at the
latest European diplomatic overtures to the Kremlin. Later,
Adelie interviews two charities that rescue animals from the
frontline.
