Ukraine liberates 440 sq kilometres and nine settlements in two months & Kyiv hammers Baltic oil hubs to wreck Putin’s Iran war windfall

Ukraine liberates 440 sq kilometres and nine settlements in two months & Kyiv hammers Baltic oil hubs to wreck Putin’s Iran war windfall

Day 1,492.

Today, as Ukraine continues its strikes on Russian oil terminals on the Baltic Sea, we explore how Russia’s oil exports and wider economy are benefiting from the war in Iran. Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelensky is in Saudi Arabia seeking to strengthen defence cooperation in the Middle East. And later, we bring several updates from the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, along with the first episode from Francis’s new documentary series dedicated to Hungary – widely seen as the chief barrier to the European Union’s efforts to support Kyiv.
