What Israel's attack on Iran means for Ukraine & Russian-occupied Crimea shaken by explosions, say partisans

Day 1,206.

Today, as explosions are heard across Crimea, we discuss the impact of Israel’s attack on Iran on the war in Ukraine, especially on drone procurement. Then we do a deep dive into Ukrainian food, visiting a special charity in Kharkiv making salt, and interviewing a bestselling cookery writer about her family’s remarkable experiences over the past century, and the recipes passed down the generations.
