  4. Ukraine destroys key bridges to 'strangle' occupied Crimea & shock resignation by UK Defence Secretary John Healey

Day 1,567.


As Ukraine intensifies its campaign against Crimea by striking
key bridges and transport links in an effort to isolate the
peninsula, we examine potentially seismic political developments
in London. Britain’s Defence Secretary John Healey – one of
Kyiv’s strongest allies and a leading advocate for military
rearmament – has dramatically resigned in protest over defence
spending and the country’s preparedness for a future conflict,
triggering a crisis that could topple the Prime Minister Keir
Starmer. Francis and Dom comb through Healey’s damning
resignation letter and consider how Kyiv will react to the news.
Later, Francis explores a major new report on the risks of a
sudden ceasefire in Ukraine with some of the world’s leading
experts.
