Ukrainians are celebrating a monumental victory after its forces liberated the key southern city of Kherson – the only regional capital Russia managed to seize since February. It’s a stinging defeat for Moscow, where Putin is facing increasingly fierce criticism for his invasion of Ukraine – including from some of his own citizens, at major personal risk. This is the focus of a new Frontline documentary, Putin’s War at Home. Its producer Vasily Kolotilov joins the show, alongside Natalia, a journalist featured in the film. 

Also on today's show: historian and author Timothy Snyder; author Siddhartha Mukherjee.
