Ukraine: The Latest7 Okt 2025

The mini-missiles designed to ram Putin’s drones out of the sky & head of a Kremlin-linked publishing house ‘falls out of a window’

Day 1,322

Today, we examine the escalating conflict in Ukraine after another night of bombardments, looking at the potential impact of US Tomahawk missiles if supplied to Kyiv, along with new Western weapons innovations shaping the battlefield. We also discuss another mysterious death in Moscow and what it reveals about the power struggles inside Russia. Finally, we explore whether the post-World War II reconstruction of Germany offers a realistic blueprint for rebuilding Ukraine once the war ends.
