Children rescued from kindergarten hit by drone & Putin defies Trump to wreck Budapest peace talks

Children rescued from kindergarten hit by drone & Putin defies Trump to wreck Budapest peace talks

Day 1,337.

Today, after Vladimir Putin defied Donald Trump to wreck the proposed Budapest peace talks, we report how overnight attacks ended with children having to be evacuated from a burning kindergarten in Kharkiv after it was hit in a Russian drone strike. Plus, British-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles hit their targets in Russia and, later, we hear about how for civilians in Ukraine, learning the specific sound of drones can be a matter of life or death… and how their buzzing can stay with survivors a long time after the attack.


Please note, this episode features real sounds of drones from the frontline.
