Day 1,620.

Today, we report on another weekend of intense military activity:
from renewed strikes on Wildberries warehouses – so severe that
the company's owner and CEO Tatyana Kim was compelled to issue a
public statement – to assassination attempts and a bombing at a
Moscow restaurant. Plus, drone strikes on Russian positions in
Crimea and a brutal attack on Kyiv that reveals the city's
vulnerability to ballistic missile strikes. Dom and Francis also
examine the latest casualty figures claimed by President
Zelensky, the evolving US position on Ukraine, and what the new
adaptation of The Odyssey might be trying to say about how modern
warfare is having a corrosive effect on contemporary society.
