Russia invasion 'called Putin’s bluff' & New York 'falls' to Moscow

Russia invasion 'called Putin’s bluff' & New York 'falls' to Moscow

Day 910.

Today, we examine the latest from Kursk as Ukrainian forces rush to close the pocket thought to contain thousands of Russian troops. Plus, we hear how Ukraine is preparing an anticipated Prisoner of War exchange, and why the issue of returning Asov fighters is now a political question for President Zelensky. Lastly, we consider Russian advances - including the alleged fall of New York.
