This week Saul and Patrick look at the astonishing news that, at long last, Kyiv has launched a sizeable incursion into Russian territory. With the situation still unfolding the details are still a little unclear, but it seems that the attack began on Tuesday morning when an estimated

2,000 Ukraine troops, supported by armour, stormed across the border

from their Sumy region into Russia’s Kursk oblast.

Also discussed is the significance of the arrival of the F-16's in Ukraine, further Ukrainian long range strikes into Russia, and potential Russian interference in spreading disinformation in the UK.
