Strike on Russian nuclear airbase ‘vaporises’ 96 cruise missiles & European citizens ‘should stockpile food’

Day 1,128.

Today, as reports allege Moscow lost 96 cruise missiles as a result of last week’s strike on Russia’s Engels airbase, we assess the latest bombardments of the past 24 hours, and the next defence summit of European leaders taking place in Paris today. Then, later, we discuss the gargantuan task of archiving source material relating to the war.
