Our correspondents on the ground talk to experts and civilians to cover every aspect of Russia's brutal invasion.

Listen to the last episode:

Day 1,359.

Today, as one of Russia’s largest oil terminals burns following an overnight strike, we report on yet another aerial blitz on Kyiv and assess the latest wave of European support for Ukraine. We also examine German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s call for President Zelensky to stem the flow of young Ukrainian men fleeing to Germany. Later, we bring you an exclusive interview with the Deputy Head of Zelensky’s Presidential Office, who shares Kyiv’s latest response to the corruption scandal engulfing the administration – and warns that Ukrainian society this summer was at “boiling point.”
