Trump 'humiliates' Pentagon over Ukraine weapons u-turn & Putin’s minister 'found dead' after firing

Trump 'humiliates' Pentagon over Ukraine weapons u-turn & Putin’s minister 'found dead' after firing

Day 1,231.

Today, we report on the sudden death of Russia’s former transport minister within hours of his sacking by Vladimir Putin. Then we examine Donald Trump’s pledge to resume weapons deliveries to Ukraine and look ahead to President Macron’s visit to the UK. Finally, we hear an updated figure of the number of children kidnapped by Russia, and discuss their fate if the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab closes this autumn amid its funding being pulled.
