Petraeus: Unmanned killer submarines can win war for Ukraine & Kyiv assassinates another Russian officer

Petraeus: Unmanned killer submarines can win war for Ukraine & Kyiv assassinates another Russian officer

Day 1,315.

Today, Ukraine assassinates a Russian senior officer from the National Guard and Moscow launches the biggest autumn conscription round since 2016. We look at Russian influence of European politics, from the UK to Hungary, and General David Petraeus offers his candid reflections on what Ukraine needs to win. We also speak with a Ukrainian-American poet, Ilya Kaminsky, whose award-winning book about a fictional village resisting occupation has now been adapted to the stage.
