Ukraine ‘on the offensive’ after Russian Starlink shutdown & fresh peace talks to start in Geneva ‘next week’

Ukraine ‘on the offensive’ after Russian Starlink shutdown & fresh peace talks to start in Geneva ‘next week’

Day 1,450.

Today, as world leaders arrive in Germany for the Munich Security Conference, we report on expectations ahead of this weekend’s gathering and what it could mean for Ukraine and European security. We assess reaction to announcements made at the latest meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (Rammstein), and examine Russia’s move to supply Cuba with oil amid growing geopolitical tensions. Plus, we bring you our regular update on resistance activities in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, and speak to the writer of a new London stage play exploring the war in the Donbas region.
