Day 1,415.
Today, the world responds to Putin’s latest outrage that has seen
a nuclear-capable ballistic missile fired by Russia hit Ukraine
just 50km from Nato’s border, with one leading European
politician saying the pressure on Putin must now be “turned up to
the maximum and made unbearable.” We hear from the man who
recently interviewed Oleksandr Kamyshin, a key aide to President
Zelensky and get Francis’s final thoughts from Hungary. Later, we
interview the commander of Operation Interflex, the British-led
military effort to train Ukrainian recruits.

Day 1,414.
Today, as yet another Russian shadow fleet tanker makes the news,
but this time after an explosion by a suspected Ukrainian drone
in the Black Sea forced it to divert to Turkey, we hear live from
Ukraine where overnight strikes left two regions without power as
temperatures plummet below zero. We report how the value of
defence company shares have surged after comments by Donald Trump
- but not if they’re based in the US - and we hear from Ukraine's
International Legion about proposed changes that have left some
soldiers in “total
bewilderment”.

Day 1,413.
Today, we report on the details of the latest Coalition of the
Willing summit in Paris, asking how significant was the strong US
presence and input. We get an update from Francis in Hungary and,
later, we have an interview with Sir Ben Wallace, Britain’s
former defence secretary who says it's just wishful thinking that
Donald Trump would put any weight behind a backstop because Putin
knows, in Sir Ben’s words, that he's got a guy in the White House
aligned to Russia.

Day 1,412.
Today, as military and political chiefs from the Coalition of the
Willing meet in Paris, President Zelensky continues to reshuffle
his top team, including the replacement of the man behind
Operation Spiderweb, a move that has been criticised in Ukraine.
We have a look at how 2026 is being reported in the Russian media
and, later, we speak to an analyst from the RAND corporation
about how AI is now being fielded on drones in the war.

Day 1,411.
Today, as the world reacts to America’s operation in Venezuela
over the weekend, we explore Moscow’s notably muted response
- a silence that hints at the tension inside the Kremlin
between defending an ally and condemning US action, risking
Donald Trump’s wrath, or quietly applauding an example of
international intervention. We also hear from Hungary, where
Francis puts questions to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

invasion.

people on both sides of the battle lines and across the region –
including Central Asia and the Caucasus – have access to accurate
reporting. We use cutting-edge AI technology to make this
