Hear about the high-profile article Vladimir Putin wrote, shortly before the full-scale invasion, about what he calls the historic community between Russians and Ukrainians. An article several in retrospect have regretted that they did not react more strongly to.
In addition, a map from the 17th century has appeared on Russian television that is said to give Putin arguments for his idea that Ukraine should not exist.
Also hear about the recent days’ shelling of Ukrainian cities, which has increased, after Russia shot down eight drones over Moscow on Tuesday.
