Russia's most valuable warplanes exiled 'as far away from Ukraine as possible' & US intelligence chief warns of 'nuclear holocaust'

Day 1,205.


Today, as Russian casualties reportedly pass one million, we
assess an extraordinary press release by the Trump administration
marking ‘Russia Day’, and examine the mentality underpinning the
United States’s stance on the war. Then we hear again from a
Ukrainian winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and discuss Margaret
Thatcher’s attitude towards Russia with the Iron Lady’s
definitive biographer and confidant.
