Day 1,642.

Today, after the CIA apparently finds a way through Russian air
defences, sneaking their director into the country with the
Kremlin spokesman later denying any knowledge of a US military
plane landing in Moscow, and with the Vatican’s Foreign Minister
turning up nearby, we ask what was so interesting about Moscow
yesterday. Then, after his call for elections blew up in his
face, Ukraine’s ousted defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov made
another political gaffe by saying, much to Moscow’s delight, that
his country is ‘slowly losing the war’. All this while Ukraine
strikes 16 targets across Russia, including oil facilities and
another Wildberries warehouse. Later, we get our regular deep
dive into Russian cucumbers and other economic indicators as well
as a look at the latest cooling in relations between Russia and
Armenia.
