Attack drones 'terrorise' Kyiv overnight & NATO chief warns ‘better learn to speak Russian’ without new tanks, warships, and aircraft

Day 1,203.

Today, as Ukraine fends off yet another overnight aerial bombardment, the first prisoners of war to return since the latest rounds of peace talks arrive in Ukraine. Meanwhile in London, we hear about NATO’s Secretary General Mark Rutte’s punchy speech at Chatham House yesterday. Finally, we talk with former Swedish Defence minister Peter Hulqvist.
