Ukraine 'liberates' 160 square kilometers in counteroffensive in Donetsk & night-time raid destroys Russian multi-purpose vehicle

Day 1,304.

Today, as President Zelensky claims Ukraine has liberated 160 square kilometers in a 'counteroffensive operation' in Donetsk, we hear live from Istanbul for the final speech of an old spymaster before retirement. Then we bring you another recording from David Knowles, who speaks to a witness to the murders which took place in Bucha, and asks what it takes to document and prosecute a war crime.
