Day 1,667.

Today, as Donald Trump says Russia has lost control of its
‘diesel oil industry’ after Moscow suffers the largest air raid
in its history, early results from the Russian parliamentary
elections show a not very shocking landslide for Putin’s United
Russia party. Dom digests the numbers with Russia analyst James
Kilner. Ukraine forces Russia to close its beaches and gives more
detail about how it has brought surprise back to the battlefield,
including by using air drones to drop ground drones behind enemy
lines. Plus, there are reports Ukrainian troops have reentered
Luhansk oblast, meaning Putin no longer has 100% control of any
of the four oblasts he says he’s annexed.
