Tank traps, tripwires, trenches: secret war plans of NATO's eastern flank 'revealed'

Tank traps, tripwires, trenches: secret war plans of NATO's eastern flank 'revealed'

Day 1,142.

Today, as a new helicopter drone is spotted flying over the Moscow region, we assess movements on the frontlines and ask why Japan is offering to provide increased support for Ukraine. Then later we discuss the new defence line the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are building against Russia. Do they think an invasion is imminent?
