Ukraine is running desperately low on interceptor missiles,
leaving its cities and people nearly defenseless against Russian
missile and drone attacks. How Russia has been able to sustain

The New York Times, explains her investigation into the spy
network that has allowed the Kremlin to keep this war going.

Guest: Jane Bradley, a Britain-based
investigative reporter for The New York Times.

Background reading:

A Russian spy who used the Aeroflot office in Tokyo to
smuggle high-tech weapon components into Russia has left Japan
after a Times report.

Operating out of a Tokyo high-rise, a military intelligence
unit takes advantage of Japan’s weak espionage laws to find the
high-tech equipment that Russia needs to wage war.
