Tomahawk missiles ‘on the table’ from Trump & Russia humiliated by election in Moldova

Tomahawk missiles ‘on the table’ from Trump & Russia humiliated by election in Moldova

Day 1,314.

Today, amid heavy assaults on Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukraine attacks more energy sites deep inside Russia, we hear about the evacuation of families from eastern Ukraine, where Moscow’s offensive continues to flatten whole cities – and about the half-marathon Dom ran to help raise money for one charity trying to help. Plus, we reflect on the historic election result in Moldova, and why it's bad news for Moscow.
