Russian cruise missile ship 'hit' in asymmetric attack & 'hellfire' rains down on Lviv and Belgorod

Russian cruise missile ship 'hit' in asymmetric attack & 'hellfire' rains down on Lviv and Belgorod

Day 1,321.

Today, we break down Ukraine’s escalating drone war targeting Russian industry and examine how Ukrainian intelligence claims China supplied satellite imagery of US-funded factories. We also cover the latest riots in Georgia and election results in Czechia, analysing what they reveal about European political stability. Later, following a weekend of explosions across Russia and occupied Crimea, a RAND Corporation analyst joins us to assess Putin’s weakening oil industry, the potential breaking point for Russia’s energy sector, and how a proposed European “drone wall” could reshape the continent’s defences.
