Analysing the opening months of the war & Brittney Griner swapped for Russian arms dealer

Day 289.

Today, we discuss the fierce fighting taking place on the battlefront and explore what the prisoner swap involving American basketball star Brittney Griner means for US- Russia relations.

Plus, we take a closer look at the report from the Royal United Services Institute, the UK’s oldest defence and security think tank, into what conflict in Ukraine teaches us about the future of warfare.
