Zelensky urges ceasefire as UN Security Council convenes after Russian attack on Kyiv

Zelensky urges ceasefire as UN Security Council convenes after Russian attack on Kyiv

Day 1,283.

Today, we continue reporting on the attack on Kyiv, which Zelensky called “a strike by Russia against President Trump”, and we hear about the work the State Emergency Services have been doing on the ground. We also discuss how Russia may be flying surveillance drones over Germany, gathering intelligence for potential sabotage campaigns, and how India’s imports of Russian oil may increase in September despite US sanctions. Later, we hear about the food industry in Ukraine and its role in the war.
