NATO scrambles fighter jets after Russian planes violate Lithuania’s airspace & deal collapses to hand Kyiv €140bn in frozen Kremlin assets

Day 1,339.

Today, as President Zelensky meets the Coalition of the Willing in London, we discuss the shock felt in Brussels after European countries failed to come to a deal on the use of frozen Russian assets. We also hear the latest updates on the Ukrainian resistance, and Francis reports not from the frontline but the front row, as he attends a Ukrainian fashion show.
