Nuclear fears as atomic agency warns power plant a ‘direct threat’ & interview with Ukrainian sniper Roman Trokhymets

Nuclear fears as atomic agency warns power plant a ‘direct threat’ & interview with Ukrainian sniper Roman Trokhymets

Day 1,471.

Today, as the United States asks Ukraine to help intercept Iranian drones over the Gulf, Washington simultaneously removes sanctions on Russian oil trade and votes alongside Moscow against a motion condemning attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear power plants. We assess the deepening diplomatic crisis between Ukraine and Hungary after Kyiv accuses Budapest of detaining seven Ukrainian banking officials and seizing a large stash of gold, and ask whether President Zelensky's sharp response could ultimately strengthen Viktor Orbán’s election campaign. Then, in a special interview, we talk to Roman Trokhymets: a sniper in the Ukrainian Army who fought in several of the major battles we have reported on these past four years.
