Russian troops now being ‘killed faster than Kremlin can recruit’ & world leaders gather in Kyiv to mark fourth anniversary of full-scale war

Day 1,461.

Today, as world leaders gather in Kyiv to mark the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we report live from two different regions of the country, covering the latest attacks from air and land and assessing the current battlefield picture. We reflect on the resilience of Ukrainians after years of war, and bring updates on an explosion in Moscow as well as reports suggesting that Moscow is now losing more soldiers on the frontline than it can recruit to sustain Vladimir Putin’s war effort.
