Drug gangs hone drone skills in Ukraine's foreign legion as US warns Russia of “consequences” on eve of latest weapons meeting

Drug gangs hone drone skills in Ukraine's foreign legion as US warns Russia of “consequences” on eve of latest weapons meeting

Day 1,330.

Today, as NATO defence ministers meet in Brussels with the US representative to NATO warning Russia of “consequences” if the Kremlin doesn’t move towards a peace agreement, we report how Mexican and Colombian drug cartels have infiltrated the Ukrainian military to learn how to fly kamikaze drones. Plus we take a deep dive into the current political crisis in France and examine what impact it could have on the war.
