About this episode

Day 254.

Today, we bring you the latest news from Kherson & discuss what the suspected deployment of Russian ‘barrier troops’ (that’s troops from your own side that shoot you if you run away) means for Russia’s fighting ability and morale.

Plus, we unpack the impact of Elon Musk's Twitter takeover and what that could mean on the war against disinformation.

And finally, David interviews Ievgenni Slavnyi, a lieutenant in the Armed Forces of Ukraine - Eugene was a journalist for many years and joined up at the outbreak of Russia’s full scale invasion.
