Day 1,674.

Today, as Russia’s manufactured humanitarian catastrophe in the
occupied town of Oleshky attracts global attention, amid reports
civilians are now resorting to eating grass and weeds, the
Council of Europe shows the United Nations how to respond. Victor
Orban’s year gets even worse, and look who’s back! Mykhailo
Fedorov launches his Army of Robots. Later, we have an exclusive
interview with the head of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and
pioneer of modern warfare: Robert Brovdi, callsign ‘Magyar’,
during which he says he’s supremely relaxed about the prospect of
another possible Russian mobilisation, saying, "we are ready to
welcome these limitless portions of stewed meat”.
