Ukraine hits 'critical' Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia's Tatarstan & ‘I outran Putin’s blitzkrieg four years ago: he never caught up’

Ukraine hits 'critical' Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia's Tatarstan & ‘I outran Putin’s blitzkrieg four years ago: he never caught up’

Day 1,462.

Today, as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters its fifth year, we report live from Kyiv the morning after world leaders gathered in the Ukrainian capital to reaffirm their support for President Zelensky. With a new round of Ukraine-Russia-US peace talks scheduled in Geneva and fresh Russian aerial attacks across the country, we ask whether there is any tangible movement – aside from continued Ukrainian advances in the south. We also examine reports that Russia is sending migrants into Europe through covert routes as part of a hybrid strategy, and consider why Kyiv has not been targeted in the air war for several consecutive days. Plus, memories from our correspondents of being in Ukraine when the invasion began, and outrunning the expected Russian blitzkrieg.
