Putin arms up summer palace as Ukraine deep strikes tear through Russian defences

Day 1,566.


As Putin installs yet more anti-drone defences around his
mistress’ lakeside retreat north west of Moscow, Ukraine shows
there are still glaring holes in the Russian air defence network
with deep strikes on oil refineries and weapons factories
elsewhere across the country. The main bridge linking to occupied
Crimea from Kherson oblast has been hit again, this time
reportedly closing it completely, leaving Russian authorities –
in the words of one Ukrainian official – ‘trying to conceal the
situation’ now in Crimea. And later, after Sunday’s election of
western-leaning Nikol Pashinyan in Armenia, Dom speaks to Russia
and Caucasus analyst James Kilner to ask how significant the
result is, and why Mr Pashinyan may actually be left feeling
slightly deflated.
