Day 1,650.

As Russia’s almost ceaseless bombardment of Ukraine continues, we
report breaking news of a drone striking the headquarters of
Ukraine's Security Service for the first time. Then we

hear of yet another assassination of a Russian general, believed
to have ordered one of the war’s most notorious air strikes, plus
more energy infrastructure strikes by Kyiv. Next, we turn to
rumours that Donald Trump’s envoys Witkoff and Kushner could
visit Ukraine in the coming days, before returning to the
explosions that destroyed Moscow’s most powerful geopolitical
tool in Europe. What do we know now that we didn’t know then
about the Nord Stream blast?
