Europe hits 200 ships from Putin's shadow-fleet with 'crippling' sanctions & we reveal fake protests in Moscow

Day 1,176.

Today, we discuss reports of staged anti-Western protests ahead of Russia’s Victory Day parade last week, where ‘activists for hire’ chanted slogans in front of several EU embassies. We also look at the 17th package of sanctions agreed on by EU ambassadors, which will have severe ramifications for Vladimir Putin’s shadow fleet. Finally, we hear about the escalation of strikes on civilians since the beginning of 2025 and their consequences, especially for children. Please note this episode features graphic descriptions of injuries caused by missiles and drones.
