Satellite images reveal Russian nuclear sites near Europe 'expanding' & sabotage operation by Ukrainian secret agents causes millions in damage
Day 1,209.
Today, after Russia launches a combined missile and drone attack against Kremenchuk – right in the centre of Ukraine – we consider an intelligence operation in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad which caused $5 million worth of damage. Then we hear about a new play that has just opened in London about Ukraine's experience, after a deep dive into how Moscow hired African farmers to make shampoo, before sending them to war.
