Editors Jimmy Lovaas and Joe Veyera discuss the recent missile strike in the Polish border area, plus more on the Black Sea grain deal expiring, the Francophone summit in Tunisia, the start of the World Cup and Russia’s President Putin visiting Armenia.

UPDATE: Following the recording of this week’s episode, Ukraine announced that the Black Sea grain deal was extended for 120 days, despite Russia’s concerns that some of its demands have not been addressed yet. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres welcomed the agreement even though it fell short of the one-year extension the UN and Ukraine had advocated for.
