Day 1,599.

After a weekend that took the tally of oil exporting Russian
ships hit by drones in the Sea of Azov to over 100, Dom reports
how Ukraine has trialled an autonomous amphibious assault into
Russian-held territory. Meanwhile Ukraine strikes another oil
refinery, as fights break out over Russian fuel shortages. Adelie
examines the first-ever joint EU-UK sanctions against the Russian
cyber-war complex and asks what direction President Zelensky is
heading in with his latest cabinet reshuffle. Dom looks at the
latest United Nations response to the bombing of civilians and
asks how they manage to condemn the killings in such strong
terms, without once having to apportion blame. And later, he
talks to US international affairs commentator Melinda Haring
about the sudden death over the weekend of Senator Lindsay Graham
and what the death of a leading Russia hawk means for Kyiv.
