Pentagon to 'immediately' test nuclear weapons & Russia fires 705 missiles and drones at Ukraine in 'vile attack'

Pentagon to 'immediately' test nuclear weapons & Russia fires 705 missiles and drones at Ukraine in 'vile attack'

Day 1,345.

Today, as Donald Trump and Xi Jinping meet in South Korea, we ask whether Ukraine can ever expect China to face real consequences for its support of Russia throughout the war. We also examine Vladimir Putin’s ongoing air campaign to cripple Ukraine’s energy infrastructure – including last night’s major assault – and bring you the latest stories from inside the Russian Federation, from renewed public protests to fresh signs of deepening economic stagnation.
