Description

Day 1,282.

Today, we hear from on the ground in Kyiv after a massive strike last night damaged the British Council and the EU mission, after Ukraine hit another 2 oil refineries in Russia to continue its strategy of undermining the Russian oil industry. Then we look towards a meeting between the Ukrainians and Steve Witkoff in the US next week, and hear from Ed Matthews of Fire Aid, an organisation that brings fire trucks to vulnerable areas around the world, including Ukraine.

I also have had enough of Trump's blow hard lies! I really believe the man has dementia among other illnesses of old age! He can say anything he wants because he forgets it in 5 minutes! I want someone to get him impeached and convicted asap so he can go back to the cell waiting for him! I love my country, but I feel like I was the only one seeing this coming if he was elected! You all nailed it today!! Keep up your great work! 🙏🙏 Putin is stopped in 2025! ♥️🇺🇸 DEMOCRACY!!!
